(Even older laptops with [XL]Ubuntu should be able to run Python & JS ! )

Since it's for a SUMMER camp, that your request just missed the last MIT
Swapfest of the season and the 2d & last NEAR-fest of the year is
irrelevant, you can get used laptops at nice prices at either event in the
spring.


   -  NEAR-Fest <https://near-fest.com/> XXXIII  May 5 &  6, 2023
   Deerfield, NH
   - Swapfest: The Flea at MIT <https://w1mx.mit.edu/flea-at-mit/>
   presumably 3d Sunday, April - October.  (*Likely won't be confirmed for
   a few months.*)
