Is this just supervised gaming?

No. Every build has a specification and a constraint, and the redstone work is drawn on paper first.

Do we need a Minecraft account?

For the in-game portion, yes. The logic work does not require one.

What do they actually learn?

Boolean logic, circuits, resource planning and collaborative building under constraints.

What the week actually is

Minecraft earns its place because redstone is genuine logic-gate work and children will do hours of it voluntarily. The camp uses the engagement and then makes the logic explicit, so the learning survives outside the game.
