Your Kid Wants to Be a YouTuber? There’s a Camp for That -

Intermittent Denial of Service attack is causing downtime. Looks like a kiddie 5 min rental. Waiting on a response from upstream.
There certainly is a camp for that.
I think learning how to produce videos with a decent level of quality is a nice thing to learn and might encourage people to make it into a career of being a video editor for movies or something, or you can be someone else's editor and have a nice little job before you get something more steady. I think learning how to sell yourself is a good skill if it doesn't focus on purely just being youtube famous, something a professor told me in my business college was "Everyone is in sales", because in the end you have to sell yourself in an interview or sell your point to your boss/coworkers. So I think those can be decent skills to teach people, assuming it is more the general ideas of selling yourself and not just how to rig youtube to get subscribers.
The social media/influencer side is kind of eh, I always found what becomes popular on social media to range from random memes that just pop up and fade away and just completely out of nowhere things that go viral for reasons I don't think anyone knows, let alone some 30+ somethings who made this program. The age ranges sound too young, this makes more sense for teenagers or people who are about to graduate high school, and I agree with the other guy who pointed out that publically showing yourself to the internet through youtube at 10-13 years old sounds like a terrible idea. The price sounds too much, but I've never been to summer camp so who knows maybe this isn't that insane at 300-1,000 USD a week.
Nice idea in theory, but the target age is wrong and I think the focus on being a "youtuber" misses the actual more practical use for some of these skills.

Take them to pleasure island
I will be totally shocked when it turns out there's some kind of grooming/rape/pictures/assault associated with this endeavor.
Obviously Pewdiepie is running it.

You said it all. I don’t know if youtube success is still random, but it definitely used to be. Popular youtubers range from RLM with their higher production value, set designs, dry humor, and filmmaking knowledge - to fucking Fred.
Needs a 'how to detonate your life on twitter' and a 'how to fake a sincere apology' workshop.
"You're grounded. No summer camp this year. Go to your room. Give me your smartphone. I am turning off the router."
As if spending an exceptional amount of money to teach goober kids how to play Fortnite wasn't enough? This reeks of upper-middle classers trying to step in on the market. A whole new form of the child star but instead of Hollywood its YeTube.
Best case scenario, we get some new cow's out of it down the line.

I'm sure you can be moderately famous with a formula of some sort, see most gaming channels for example or how much Mattpatt used to know about youtube algorithms a couple years ago. You can break youtube down to a science to some degree, but to get truly famous I think takes a much more broader analysis that I doubt some random summer camp has or it could be one of those "I didn't know I wanted this until it was shown to me" things. It is really hard to know what people will latch onto. Also this "program" seems to have a focus on how to get attention on social media, which is even more random especially if they actually try to explain how memes or random viral trends happen.
As a personal example, I didn't even know of the GTA "Aw shit, here we go again" meme for about a week after it seemed to start popping up on twitter. Why did this random voice line from a game that is nearing 2 decades old just randomly become relevant to anything? I love random dumb memes like this, but I couldn't even begin to explain why I find it funny or why it happened. I never even played GTA so I had no association to the line until it became popular.
Internet fame is a weird business.

I say the parents have already proved themselves unfit by dropping their kids there, remove those children from their custody and put 'em in public works 'volunteer' projects until the parents complete a 3 week course on civic responsibility and why Internets is serious (and dangerous) bizness.
