Mepal,
It is a continuation of Yeshiva. Yeshivas (not elementary) very commonly go until chodesh Av. A number of Yeshivos have the last month in camp.
We just read about the pertira of its Rosh Yeshiva, Hogoan R’ Zelik Epstien, ZT”L.
The inqiurer may want to go back and read some of those articles and posts to get some idea.
EDITED due to no longer being applicable. Your point was well taken though.
