You should just talk to your parents about the benefits of a summer camp. Do your research and be ready to answer any questions they have. I agree that a lot of sleepovers result in no good, but many of them are positive in that it helps a girl learn much needed socialization. Let your parents know you want the relationships that result from one on one with your friends... and be ready to have true answers when they ask you more.
I hope you get what you need. It sounds like your parents love you and are having a hard time letting go. Either way, remember you are loved - which is what you need. Good luck!

You might try a negotiating technique called the 'Russian Front'. You need to come up with an alternative that is far worse than you going to camp and then present the two choices to them.
For example, tell them you've been thinking about what you want to do this summer: go to camp or get a full-body tatoo and join a cult. Maybe they will opt for camp.
Then again, tell them you are concerned about their clinginess and unwillingness to let you experience life. Tell them you want to go to family counseling. That ought to do the trick.

Let them know that you would like to spend this time with your friends and that you want to experience the same things that other kids your age are doing. Stopping you from sleeping over at a friend's house isn't helping you at all, and summer camps are excellet for learning life skills. Let them know why you want to do these things.

It sounds like your parents seem to be overprotective and want you to themselfs.
Perhaps you should talk to your grandparents and tell them to talk to your parents. This is what I did when I wanted to start going to summer camp at 13, I went right to my dads parents and my grandma really put her foot down on my dad lol

Respect their decisions! Being a parent is an extremely difficult job - especially if you do it right.
Throw them a hint every now and then and see what happens.
If they say no - respect their decision and learn from their decision. Once you're a parent - then you'll understand exactly what they are going through.
