If a college is having multiple single day camps in the summer, is there a benefit to going to more than one? This school would be at the top of the list for DD.

The more contact your daughter has with the staff the better off she will be . If it is a top list college for your DD I would go an extra day since you are already at campus. I would communicate to the coach through your TB coach and find out what days of the camp they would like your daughter at.
Are each of the single day camps the same? Or are they more specialized, like June 10 - Advanced Hitting & Base Running, July 14 - Fielding & Defensive Strategy. While it's definitely to your daughter's benefit to get as much on campus face time as possible, if the single day camps are identical repeats, not sure you need to go to all. They are probably scheduling multiple camps because they know summer schedules can be tough so are giving options. It would be good, like Jlbmlb says, to find out if there is a preferred day that they want their top prospects to attend.
If a school is at the top of your DD's list it may be beneficial to attend more than one camp, but I would highly encourage your DD to talk with the coaches at the first camp looking for feedback and a "warm and fuzzy" that the school is interested in your DD. While no one likes to be told "no", there is a limited amount of time and money for your DD to attend camps and she needs to concentrate her efforts, and your money, towards schools that are mutually interested. During the recruiting process my DD's Top-10 was constantly changing and the starting list and ending list were dramatically different.

Great question. I should have been more clear. Yes, they are identical camps, spaced a couple weeks apart, in an effort, I'm sure, to give kids a chance to get to at least one.
