I've never been to a residential summer camp (just day camp) but I always wanted to go as a kid. I guess I think that unless the community the child is in is not all that diverse there'd be no real intense reason to do that kind of camp versus any other kind of camp since, in my experience, whenever there are even a small group of alike kids together they're going to get a type of heritage experience. An experience that is equal to if not more valuable than the academic exercise of learning about historical figures/traditions. I think camps based more on interest (at which a diverse group of children are present, give kids more opportunities to connect on a deeper personal level. But hey, that's just me.
I'm also interested to know how those who've attended the camps feel about their value.
