Seriously, I never went to summer camp but I think they are a great idea. While I don't agree with the Camp Directors on HB-847, I do think the camps provide a NECCESARY service to the children of the area.
I think a reasonable compromise would be that in lieu of taxes to the town, a certain number of underpriveleged kids from that town should be allowed to attend the camp for free. Perhaps a lottery system of some sort? (I also think universities & colleges should also do the same for thier cities & towns)

Many children attend summer camp through Camperships. Organizations or individuals pay the tuition of one or more children to attend a non-profit summer camp.
I don't know if there are camperships for lakes region children to attend the local camps, but there should be.
