Do you think it's bad that I'm not doing this for myself?

I'm a high school sophomore, and this summer my parents and I have decided that I'm going to go to a summer school to get college credit for a class about economics. We also decided that I'm going to a complete immersion spanish language camp for advanced spanish speakers because it is worth college credit. Each of these camps is two weeks long, and after the language camp, I am going directly to another camp as a student leader. I will be leading at this Christian camp for three weeks in order to get volunteer hours for the IB diploma program at our school. Plus it looks good on college applications. And in my time that I'm not at one of these camps (Im at camp for seven total weeks, which only leaves four weeks at home) I am umpiring for money and for job experience BECAUSE IT LOOKS GOOD ON A COLLEGE APPLICATION. I didn't want to do this much stuff during my summer, but colleges come before my happiness in my house. Do you think its bad that I'm doing all of these things, and primarily focusing on college credit, or is this normal for someone who is striving to be great? Also, I have a gf and I'm gonna miss her a lot and I'm afraid that me being gone will ruin our relationship.
