This gives a good example of how to install Ubuntu on a mac: http://www.howtogeek.com/187410/how-to-install-and-dual-boot-linux-on-a-mac/
Mac boot camp, only works for windows, it will refuse to go forward without a usable windows disk. Do not fret though because there are easy work arounds to get Ubuntu or any linux distro on your mac. The above URL is a pretty good step by step instruction on how to install Ubuntu without having to worry about bootcamp.

Bootcamp doesn't help to install Linux, it's Windows only! Right when you open it, it asks for Windows ISO otherwise it won't go forward. – Maziyar Feb 22 '16 at 18:12

Okay, you are right, I forgot how the actual steps went since it has been a while since I have had a mac. In that case just use the second URL to install linux on a mac. So I'll change my answer to show that. – Caperneoignis Feb 22 '16 at 18:18
