Volunteer internships exist, where you don’t get paid for your work but you do have to pay for housing. It sounds like as the other poster said, you are looking at summer programs which are not the same.

An internship implies you are an employee of some sort or a volunteer. A summer program at a college would make you a student.

The best bet is to get a summer job related to your field, even while still in HS. Working is a great EC. Paying for a glorified summer camp is not a great EC.
