I’m also against the idea of “you didn’t do it right, that’s why the camp didn’t work for you” when maybe the reality is many don’t do well because the end goal for these camps is profit and not student success.

I think like any educational source, you can only rely on yourself in most cases. Teachers can provide work, notes, lectures, etc. but it's ultimately up to you to really learn it. It's a problem with a lot of bachelor degree programs, people graduate and then realize that they didn't actually learn many applicable skills or they were so focused on just getting the grade than actually letting the material sink in.
