I am looking for a summer camp that will improve my daughter's Hebrew. I do not mind if there is some time inside sitting at desks improving read skills etc. But it should mostly be focused on activities and fun "camp" things to do? Any suggestions? My daughter will be 12 next summer and attends day school in the states. She is just not comfortable speaking Hebrew.

In general, summer camps that cater to children who want to have a fun-type summer, like summer camp in Israel, are going to have mostly other language speakers in them, not Israelis. Israelis cannot afford/don't have the mindset of an American-type summer camp.
There are camps, one of which is Kayitz BaKibutz at Kibbutz Shluchot (there is a site) that are in Israel, with kids who live here, but who come from Anglo homes so that although the children get an Israeli experience, it's not really in Hebrew.

Thanks for the help. *That* is why I have not been able to find what I was looking for, it doesn't exist.
