The sentence in English states “In summer, I go camping”. In the dictionary “to go camping” = faire du camping, so “En été, je fais du camping” which matched your translation. I was surprised to see your final translation “En été, je campe” which I would read as “In summer, I camp” - I feel a subtle difference in nuance here. Sorry if i’m coming over as a bit picky
Following other answers, I'm much clearer but what is "an instance where the verb following «on» changes from the third persona singular to, usually, a plural tense and agrees correspondingly".
And, to be clear, when "on" = "we" it's still singular .... on a dit, here?
