Orthodox Judaism, is the traditional form of the religion. The Conservative and Reform movements arose in Europe and the United States around the 19th century, both making an attempt to modernize Judaism.
First, in Europe, what Americans call "Conservative Judaism" is generally called Masorti (traditional) Judaism. And yes, there absolutely are summer camps. I enclose a link to one of the better-known Masorti-run camps in the United Kingdom.
It depends on what country you're talking about. It's also a matter of opinion. In the United States, the Reform movement is generally the most liberal, however Reform Judaism has been undergoing a slow shift toward incorporating more and more tradition, whereas Conservative Judaism has been undergoing a slow shift toward more change. It's not stretch to imagine a time when the two will merge.

In the United States, the Conservative movement is a Jewish movement that holds to a more traditional liturgy than the Reform movement while taking a liberal stand on many issues. Generally, the Reform movement has taken liberal stands on issues like ordaining women or gay marriage long before the Conservative movement. The conservative movement has taken its time searching for justifications for these positions before moving. To an outsider, except for the separation of men and women in an Orthodox synagogue, the Orthodox and Conservative liturgies are almost indistinguishable. There are small changes in the Hebrew text and, in bilingual prayerbooks, more use of gender-inclusive language in the English translations used in Conservative prayerbooks.
