Practice makes perfect!
I drove my first manual car when I bought it off the lot. Same story here, just drive it with someone who knows better and you will learn it really fast.

I also rode the clutch and killed the clutch on that first car (just a POS Ford Focus) because I always had my foot just ever so slightly on the clutch pedal rather than rested on the dead pedal.

For me, my first night with the car, I went out late at night and just kept practicing getting the car off the line from a stop. After a few hours I had it handled other than when stuck on a hill.

But the Camaro has hill brake assist so you should be super-fine.
