As a youth, Camper played in the 2002
Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a
minor ice hockey team from
Cleveland.
College Camper played four seasons of Division I NCAA hockey with the
Miami RedHawks in the
Central Collegiate Hockey Association. He finished as the active career scoring leader in the United States. In the 2010–11 season, he was third in the US in assists, third in points per game, and fourth in points. He was then immediately assigned to the Bruins top AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins, where he made his professional debut the following night in a 5–4 win over the
Portland Pirates. On February 25, 2012, Camper scored his first career NHL goal against
Alex Auld of the
Ottawa Senators in a 5-3 Boston win. It was assisted by Bruins defenseman
Adam McQuaid. This was also his first NHL point. On February 27, 2012, Camper was sent back down to Providence along with two others as the result of two trades the Bruins made, acquiring three players. On February 7, 2014, Camper was traded by the Bruins to the
Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for
Blake Parlett and he joined the
Springfield Falcons. Camper left the Blue Jackets organization as a free agent on July 2, 2014, when he signed a one-year
two-way contract with the Ottawa Senators. On July 1, 2015, Camper signed a one-year, two-way contract with the
Washington Capitals. As a free agent for a second consecutive season, Camper signed a one-year, two-way deal with the
New Jersey Devils on July 1, 2016. He spent the duration of the
2016–17 season with AHL affiliate, the
Albany Devils, compiling 29 assists for 35 points in 47 games. Camper left the Devils as a free agent at the conclusion of his contract, signing a two-year AHL contract with hometown club, the
Cleveland Monsters on July 21, 2017. In the
2017–18 season, Camper was leading the Monsters in scoring with 29 assists and 42 points in 53 games before he was traded to the Tucson Roadrunners, alongside an NHL transaction between parent affiliate's the Blue Jackets and the
Arizona Coyotes on February 26, 2018. Camper found instant success with the Roadrunners, averaging at more than a point-per-game pace to play out the campaign. On June 25, 2018, the Roadrunners traded Camper to the
Grand Rapids Griffins in exchange for future considerations. On July 2, 2019, Camper agreed to continue his journeyman AHL career in signing a one-year contract with the
Utica Comets, affiliate to the
Vancouver Canucks. After spending nine professional seasons in the AHL, Camper halted his North American career in accepting a two-year contract as a free agent with Swedish club,
Leksands IF of the
Swedish Hockey League (SHL) on August 7, 2020. In his third season with Leksands in
2022–23, Camper contributed with 13 goals and 27 points in 41 games before leaving the club to join Swiss team, EV Zug of the NL, for the remainder of the campaign on February 8, 2023. ==Personal life==
