By high school, summer "camp" usually means something else: a pre-college program, a sports academy, a job-shadow internship, an outdoor leadership trip, or a Counselor-In-Training role at the day camp the kid attended at age 8. Most Birmingham families switch at this age from camp-shopping to portfolio-shopping.

↘ What to look for
Ask what the artifact is — transcript, certificate, college rec letter, paid stipend? If the program promises "college prep," look at how many kids actually came back the next year (a flat retention rate is a yellow flag). For sports academies, the right question is whether the coaches actively recruit/scout, not the brand on the gym wall.
