My reason for asking what your student did is that is what she should write in the description. The reader may not be familiar with the prestige of Ross (I wasn’t). Even if they are aware, you should focus on what she did while she was there rather than the prestige of being accepted.

Looking at the website, it describes their goal. I bolded a few lines that she could expand upon in her description of what she did at the camp.
Our central goal has always been to instruct bright young students in the art of mathematical thinking and to inspire them to discover for themselves that abstract ideas are valuable and important. First year participants take the basic course in number theory. For most students, this is the first time they are asked to consider entirely new questions, to develop methods that they have not seen before, and to justify every answer.

The value of a mathematics education lies not only in obtaining proficiency in computational tasks, but also in building a foundation for critical thinking. Students who have never asked why things work the way they do are not prepared to lead the way to future scientific innovation. It is precisely this independence of thought and questioning attitude that the Ross Program strives to nurture.
