Looking for a camp to apply to for my 6th grade daughter. Yeshivish but more OOT style. Warm, fun and genuinely frum but not too intense. Type where girls wear knee socks, but are not crazy narrow minded. Weird way to explain I know, but I’ll stick with it. Not too snobby or into brand names please. Does such a camp exist? And am I too late to apply?

I'd look into Aguda Midwest and Maarava, both run by Aguda of IL. They are more or less the way you describe frum wise. I find that these days you can't avoid girls being into brands and stuff anywhere but these camps do attract more of an OOT base and it's a bit less JAPY than average. Still has plenty of girls from the East Coast but I don't think that can be avoided in any camp. (A real true OOT camp that is also solidly frum - knee sock wearing as a litmus test, lol - doesn't seem to exist anymore.)
*Caveat - these camps are extremely hard to get into. I'd say apply to both - it's on the same application (one is first half and one is second half) and hopefully you will get into one, you won't be accepted to both. Also apply the first day applications open or it's too late.

maarava is way more jappy and give fancier giveouts than camps like bais yaakov, tehilla, menuchah.

How would you compare Maarava to Aguda Midwest in that respect? And MTM (though its not for going into 7th so I didn't initially mention it here.)

I Don't have dds in sleep away camp yet,this is from what I hear from my friends.
MTM and Maarava have the same type of crowd. Maybe the kids aren't all fancy, but the camp does fancy things.
I don't know much about about agudah Midwest. In my OOT community, yeshivish girls for the most part go to maarava/mtm , not agudah midwest, so I think its less yeshivish.

Maarava and MTM are on the same grounds in Marshal, Indiana. MTM is first half, maarava is second.
They are very hard to get into, and also keep in mind you most likely need to fly there.

Agudah midwest is in Michigan.
I know nothing about it, no one from my community goes.
