In the 20th century after WW2, there was a movement to integrate Jewishness into the children of Ashkenazis in the North East. Summer camps were used to bond Jews to their culture and community. It's also a joke that a lot of the camp counselors are young adults returning from their birthright, hyping Israel to the kids.
When Jews got jobs in media, they brought along the summer camp plot to entertainment. It made millions of American kids think they were missing out, when really it's a tiny subset of the population actually going to sleepaway camps. Stuff like Camp Lazlo and the Parent Trap (with bows and arrows, canoes, the outfits) is straight out of Jewish camp culture.
