AITA for saying it's not fair that my sister gets to go to an awesome summer camp when I'm stuck going to church camp

My parents go on vacation without me (14f) and my sister (15f) every summer and send us to a sleepaway camp. The problem is we go to different camps and my sister's camp sounds freaking awesome and my camp is pretty mid.

My sister has this immune system thing and she goes to a 2 week camp for free for people with the same condition as her. She's taken pictures and the cabins are less crowded, the bathrooms are nicer, they have 3 pools, they have archery, horseback riding, canoeing, hiking, casino nights, astronomy nights (people bring telescopes and they stay up late looking at stars and planets), game nights, and they have actual chefs that cook their food.

My parents send me to church camp because it's cheap, it's usually during one of the weeks my sister is at camp, and they know the directors/priests/volunteers. We're out in the middle of nowhere (literally surrounded by farms) with a pool and a tiny playground that's only fun when you're 7 or 8. They also don't allow technology for campers unless it's school related. My parents could send an email saying I need my tablet for school but they say it's good to be away from technology for the week. We do have some fun activities and competitions but there's also a lot of free time where there isn't that much to do except hang out with the other girls. You can't even flirt with any of the guys because there's an 85% chance that you're somehow related.

Last summer my parents were signing us up for camp and I said either they find a camp like my sister's or I'm not gonna go to camp. My parents found one but it was more than triple the price of church camp so they said either church camp or I spend the week with my grandma. I went to church camp because grandma's house is even more boring than church camp (all she wants to do is watch family feud, the price is right, or the news, cook, and talk about when she lived in Palestine).

They're already talking about next summer and I was complaining about having a shitty week every summer because they want to go on vacation and they told me to shut up because they gave me options and if I find something for under $400 I can do that, otherwise I'm either going to church camp or grandma's house.

They're calling me ungrateful and a brat so I wanted to know if I was the asshole.
