This is actually a very interesting perspective. My extroverted DD loves small groups because of all the attention.

Yes, I think it's more about the camp style vs. the number of kids. My introvert DD likes camps that explore deeply her particular areas of interest and hates anything that is really focused on competitions or "rah-rah" type stuff. Extroverted DS's favorite camp is oriented around which team 'won' each day or week and lots of things like races. DD hated it. She likes camps that are focused on the outdoors, science, or art. I tried to make them do the same camps for a couple years because it's so much easier logistically but I finally gave up!
