I’m pretty much in agreement with @curiousme2 ; summer programs,just to say you did a summer program, is probably not worthwhile. What one gets out of a summer program, however, can make one a more interesting applicant. That said, there are other summer activities outside of a formal program, including paid or volunteer work, which could also enhance an application.

Also be aware that the summer programs that will make an AO spend a few more seconds looking at an applications are generally ones that are little to no cost. Additionally, be aware that no AO is going to swoon because you self studied something, so I hope that was not part of your rationale.
