Deductions & credits
You are supposed to be able to claim the child care credit for the cost of the day camp as long as your daughter was under 13 when she was in camp. This is a known bug in TurboTax. It has been reported. I don't have any information about when or whether it will be fixed.
If you use the CD/Download TurboTax software instead of TurboTax Online you can work around the problem by entering the child care expenses in forms mode instead of in the question-and-answer interview. There is no forms mode in TurboTax Online.
If you want to switch from TurboTax Online to the CD/Download TurboTax software see the following FAQ for instructions.
How do I switch from TurboTax Online to TurboTax CD/Download?
Once you have your tax return open in the CD/Download software, go to forms mode and open the Dependent and Nondependent Information Worksheet for your daughter. Scroll down to Part III - Dependent Care Expenses. Enter the camp expenses on the first line in Part III, "Qualified child or dependent care expenses incurred and paid in 2022." Then you can return to the Step-by-Step interview and complete the interview for the Child and Dependent Care Credit. You will then get the credit.
