Compare coding camps by dates, budget and length
Coding camps have grown faster than any other category in the last five years, and the range of what they mean by coding is now very wide. At one end are camps teaching Scratch and block based logic to nine year olds, which is genuinely valuable and looks nothing like programming. At the other are camps where sixteen year olds ship a working app in a fortnight. Read the syllabus rather than the headline.
The thing to check is what a child leaves with. A good coding camp sends them home with something that runs: a game, a site, a small robot that does what they told it to. A weaker one sends them home with a certificate. Ask what last year's students built.
Class size matters more here than in almost any other subject, because a child stuck on a bug learns nothing until someone unsticks them. Eight to twelve students per instructor is normal. Above twenty, expect a lecture.

Most camps run a complete beginners track alongside an intermediate one, and will place students after a short conversation or questionnaire before arrival. Camps teaching a specific language to a specific level, such as Python for A Level preparation, will say so clearly and usually ask for some prior experience.
Python and JavaScript dominate, with Scratch for younger children and Swift or Java at a few. The language matters less than you would think at this age. What transfers is how to break a problem down, and that is taught the same way in all of them.
Many camps provide machines, but a good number ask students to bring their own so they can keep working on their project afterwards. Check before you book, and check the specification if they do: some robotics and games courses need more than a basic Chromebook can offer.
A summer camp is not a qualification and no admissions tutor will be impressed by attendance alone. A finished project a student can talk about with real understanding is a different matter, and that is a good reason to favour camps that build something over camps that cover a syllabus.
