Online or in-person summer camps for non-sporty/non-musical tweens?

If so, any recommendations, for a somewhat introverted child who's into reading and writing?

There are a lot of options out there - Chess camp, STEM camp (but I'm thinking animation or worldbuilding or another story-telling based STEM topic), Drama Camp - I know you said introverted, but drama can be for introverts, too. For tweens, all camp experiences are better with a friend.

Not sure of the age here, but NPS has a camp that goes up to grade 6 and does not have a specific emphasis on sports or music. The smaller groups could help an introverted kid make friendship connections, too.

Young Authors’ Workshop sounds like something your tween would like. They cover poetry, fiction, and nonfiction - read examples of the genres and then write their own. I think the best part is that they actually publish the campers writing and send the book to them at the end of camp. If your tween likes reading and writing I think they’d enjoy this camp.
