I'm with HK and howdy on the issue with academic camps. We tried a "TAG" summer camp and it was a failure: there was one group for entering 3-5th graders and another for entering 6th-8th. She was going into 5th by age and I lobbied hard to let her into the higher level group. But despite having middle school level classes, they wouldn't budge and the week was wasted from a learning standpoint (she was literally doing labs that she's just done in her biology class in school). I did buttonhole the director on the final presentation day and let her know my issue. DD now has an exemption in her file that lets her take higher level classes (only barring any insurance issues, which a few locations or classes do have -- mostly medical ones).
On the other hand, DD looks forward to a completely non-academic summer camp every year and is happy to blend in with her age group and just relax and have fun. But they don't pretend to be teaching the kids anything except low ropes or how to canoe.
