Drive it around a parking lot in a couple figure 8s, away from metal posts. It'll calibrate after that.

Mines a daily driver (20 months and counting) and I've never seen this. Sounds like an easy fix though..

...I have 23-24K miles on my car...once in a while I notice it says CAL when I first get in...always fixes itself almost immediately...I'd be willing to bet everyone's does, and it just goes unnoticed most of the time.

I checked through the 2011 Camaro owners manual and in section 5 on page 33 I found and excerpt about the CAL message:
This message is displayed when the compass needs to be calibrated. See Compass on page 5-4. If you see three dashes for your compass that means your compass needs servicing. I hope that answers any questions that might be lingering. Jeff Morris, Chevrolet Customer Service |

I found some information on google..
#PIC5159D: Compass Calibration - (Aug 2, 2011) Subject: Compass Calibration Models: 2010 - 2012 Buick LaCrosse 2011 - 2012 Buick Regal 2012 Buick Verano 2010 - 2012 Cadillac SRX 2011 - 2012 Chevrolet Cruze 2012 Chevrolet Orlando 2012 Chevrolet Sonic 2010 - 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox 2010 - 2012 GMC Terrain -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This PI was superseded to update model year and add additional models . Please discard PIC5159D. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI. Condition/Concern: Customers may comment that the compass in the DIC displays CAL or dashes (- - -). Recommendation/Instructions: The compass receives its heading and other information from all the following modules: 1.OnStar Module (VCIM) - Global Positioning System (GPS) data 2.EBCM - Stabilitrak and Yaw Sensor data. 3.ECM - Vehicle speed data. If any one of these modules lose communication or if the inputs used to calculate compass data is lost, CAL or -- will display on the DIC. If the vehicle is driven without a GPS Signal (i.e. in a parking deck, tunnel, or something covering the GPS antenna that blocks the signal) for more than 5 miles or for more than 2700 total Degrees of Turn (approx. 8 circles), only CAL will display. CAL means the compass system is CALIBRATING and this is normal operation. When CAL or -- is displayed, drive the vehicle in an area that has clear line of sight to the sky, making several 90 degree turns. Once a signal is received, it will recalculate a heading based on its new sensor values. If the compass heading does not update after several turns in an open area, turn the Ignition off, open and close the driver's door and wait 3-5 minutes for vehicle system to power down and go to sleep then restart the vehicle. The display should now be updated. Refer to the Owner's Manual as necessary. |

I've had it pop up on an Impala rental before and had to drive in circles in a parking lot to reset it. Don't know how it is on Camaros.
