Absolutely not!
This wasn't at all about meeting the "right" kinds of friends. It was about going to summer camp and meeting "new" friends. My parents had absolutely no agenda; I attended a camp run by a community center geared at "inclusion". It was probably the exact opposite of what you are thinking.
Needless to say, I still run into kids that attended summer camp and they are everything from doctors to ministers to factory workers.
