Sure, it helps with scholarships and stuff, but say, if you decided to be a doctor, you wouldn't have to give a college proof that you listened to your childhood pediatrician when he talked about medical stuff.
As for the camp, I've personally fundraised my way to many ballet summer intensives. They're several thousand dollars for a couple of weeks, but I managed to pay for them by myself. I sold t-shirts, I had bake sales, I sent letters to business' asking them for money.
Sure, it wasn't the most glamorous thing or something I enjoyed, but once I got to the intensive, it was worth it. If this is something you really want, go for it. I'm sure it'd be a great experience and a great way to meet new people and learn new things.
However, it's not necessary. If it's not financially feasible for you, it's not like it'll be the end of the world. You don't have to go to one creative writing camp when you're in your senior year just to have it to show colleges, when colleges will let you become a creative writing/journalist/publicist major (or whatever you're thinking of becoming) without it.
