At the end of the day - Your focus needs to be on building leg strength, zone 2 cardio, and sport specific endurance.

From Lawyers_Guns_Money's post, agree 100%. I really have nothing to add to that, his plan/strategy looks perfect. I do have more general advice. First, congrats on your current fitness level. Second, while aiming for sub 15% bf, you should also aim to get significantly under the weight limit. Yes, you will lose strength, but you can get those gains back after the camp. Second, your knees, ankles and other joints will thank you for dropping weight before the camp, especially since you are over 40. Third, even at 5' 10", 215 or so you will look/feel like an absolute unit if you get close to 15% bf.

So yes, your lifts will suffer, but if this is once in a lifetime event, focus on training for the event first, strength and aesthetics, second.
