Funny - as intowners, both of my girls said that the year they were put into a bunk that was mostly intowners like themselves, they liked camp less.
They enjoyed it more when there was diversity, with girls from all over the place...much more interesting. They went with friends, but wanted to be with 2-3 of them, not their whole class/grade/neighborhood.
OP, 2nd half is usually considered to be more "OOT" than first half. If your DD went first half, she might like 2nd half better in the future.

I find that it's important to come to camp with a good friend. And that it has less to do with in town vs OOT.

This.
It’s hard to break into a group of existing friends.

Hey we had that all my years at Camp Bnos. And I loved second half way better than first half too.
Is that where your daughter goes? Or is this actually a thing across the board? (If it’s a thing, how did this even happen? Lol)

Really? But (IME) out of town schools start mid-August. I was never able to go 2nd half growing up OOT. I know of at least a few other OOT cities on the same schedule.

This.
I was also sent all alone to a strange foreign camp. We sent 2nd half simply because we didn't sign up 6 months before and signed up in like June. I continued since all of my friends were coming back for second half.
But yes, I am a OOT and loved camp! But yes, 2nd half!

My DD had that in Camp Bais Yaakov. And she said even in the Zone, where she went as staff, it was more chilled and she liked 2nd half.
So I think it's a "thing".

When my daughter was 8.”, she went to oorah camp alone and later, when others from our town went she wasn’t nearly as happy.
