      I grew up rural and I assumed it was for people with money who don't actually live out in the country.

      Baptist church summer camps are a thing, even where I live, where you send your kids to be indoctrinated with hateful ideology.

      I know about this because, uhh yeah I was sent to them

      Much bigger in North America than anywhere else, and maybe more of a thing in Canada even.

      Day camps (which are basically babysitting services) are mostly city and suburban things. My mom stuck me and my siblings in a ton of them, not because she worked, but because we annoyed her and it was the only way to get peace and quiet when school is out

      Actual summer camps are also largely a suburban thing, I think.
