You're right. But the wording is way off. They should've emphasized the playful character of the event more.

It probably wasn't written by a professional, and they're trying to satisfy two demographics.

There's the part for the kids, obviously, but the other demographic is the parents who want their kids to LEARN something at the camp.

Parents don't necessarily send their kids to Pokemon Camp because their kid loves Pokemon, but because the camp advertises to parents that their kids will learn X, Y, and Z skills and stuff, lol
