Double Bass Summer: Brevard vs. Idyllwild??

Our 16 year old double bassist daughter went to Brevard last summer and LOVED it. It really put her on fire for bass and she now wants to go to a full-time pre-college program and study at a conservatory for college.

Here's the dilemma. She got into Brevard again for this summer - and is also considering Idyllwild since the instructor she met at Colburn and liked teaches there. At Idyllwild she would do the 2 week jazz program followed by the 2 week orchestra one. The price for 4 weeks at Idyllwild is $1000 more than the cost of 6.5 weeks at Brevard (only classical) - plus plane fare from SC to LA.

Any advice?
