Your right... I did not specify that and really only thought of it
after having posted the OP.

That works and allows the function to work over mulitple lines.
So with near total plagiarism of your code... I post below what
appears to be working code... I'm assuming there are other lisp
challenged readers who may find use for it. These tiny changes appear
to allow it to work over multiple lines.
(defun camelize-region (start end)
(interactive "r")
(capitalize-region start end)
(let ((end (let ((m (make-marker))) (set-marker m end) m)))
(unwind-protect
(progn
(goto-char start)
;; (while (re-search-forward "\\s-+" end t)
(while (re-search-forward "[ \t]+" end t)
(delete-region (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0))))
(set-marker end nil))))
