I can see where you're coming from - it does sound weird. If it makes you feel more comfortable you can think of it as if the daughter spoke of what she wanted to say, and the Mom cleaned up the grammar.

Hate is a strong word.

I can't see anything bad coming out of this for the child in question. She's being inspired and supported.

Successful adults tend to have had a shit ton of support as children. There are exceptions, but they're rare.

Kickstarter is really not the place for these things. The mother should just chock it up and pay for the camp, no need to create a campaign -- it looks like the camp was already paid for in the first place. I don't like people asking for charity when they don't need it. The girls already got a kindle and a mac, more than I had, a shitty 386 and 14.4kb modem when I started out.
