Why wouldn't she just go as staff?
Are there programs for 12th graders?
I am MO and only know that MO camps, but every camp I know, the oldest campers are going into 10th.

What about a non-counselor job, like the art room or baking. Much less pressure and responsibility and is free evening, but will be in camp and can hang with her friends.

Maybe a travel camp.
Thinking back to when I was in high school so
I'm sorry I don't know any current information.

All the travel camps (DKTY, frontier, etc) and/or michlelet would be good choices although michlelet is a bit to the left of the travel camps I mentioned

Tizmoret Shoshana, if she is interested in the arts (fine art, musical instruments, vocal, dance, drama, creative writing).

But it's expensive and only 2 weeks.

There are some Israel touring camps, some have optional European add ons. 10 days to 3 weeks type of thing.

Camp Nageela Midwest had a division called Spark. I'm not sure if it's still around, if so what it's called, and if it's just for incoming hs juniors.
