"Summer camp" includes day camp. Eight is a normal age for all levels of summer camp imo. Community, school, Scouts, or church can organize day camps, they are less expensive, they can be focused on but not exclusively about a single activity (such as sailing camp), and like sleep-away camp they can go one or two weeks or even longer. The child in question might be doing a couple back-to-back sessions.
That said, I think we may have a bad case of Tiger Mom here.
