For on-ice: be an active participant. Think of some things you want to learn/improve upon or have questions about prior to the start of the clinic. You may not have a chance to do or ask everything but it doesn't hurt to be prepared.
Ask questions, don't be shy. Sometimes coaches will just say "when A happens, do B". I always want to know the why. Not necessarily because I don't believe them but because it helps with the underlying philosophy/tactics/strategy.
If you're taught techniques new to you, practice them in slow motion while it's not your turn doing the drill. It'll help you remember the movement for practice at a later time and starts training the muscle memory. Also, try to watch what's going on at the same time and have your ears open in case someone else asks a question.
Anytime a coach stops a drill to go over something with whoever is in net make sure you're tuned in. This is one of the easiest ways to learn from other's "mistakes".
As Timber said, write down every drill you did as soon as possible. Detail what the point was and how it was executed.
I went to a clinic one month after i started. A great experience and I'm sure I avoided ingraining a lot of bad habits as a result.
Good luck
