i think the explanation is that the screenwriter had no idea that summer camps aren't a thing in england at all and thought "eh, it was in the original, we'll just bs it"

Summer camps aren’t a thing in England(in your words), so it makes sense for the mother to send Annie a place they are a thing, America in this case. Presumably after hearing about them and thinking it sounded like a good activity for Annie to do during the summer.

I don’t get why summer camps not being a thing in England is supposed to matter or be an argument against the movie, when the summer camp in the movie isn’t in England. And why do you assume the screenwriter was ignorant of this aspect of England, or why it’s a problem with the story that they might be? Because again, it does not matter because the camp is in America, this tidbit about England is irrelevant.

And lastly, summer camps are actually a thing in England. Maybe not where you live, but summer camps have been on the rise with English kids in the last few decades. So this whole point is even more moot.

Yeah, sure. That's definitely a thing that normal parents do. "I say, this summer camp lark sounds like fun. Better send my child 2000 miles across the ocean to go live in the woods for six weeks."

I admit, that part is definitely a bit of a stretch. About as much of a stretch as two twins who have been separated with no knowledge of each other and live in two entirely different countries somehow ending up in the same summer camp. But still, a stretch.
