We parents are kind of weird, we get all excited about the strangest things. I understand you being embarrassed about getting your period, but you really shouldn't be. It is part of growing up and becoming a women. Of course having your mom taking an ad in the local news paper would be a little over the top.
Getting your period is a milestone mom has been looking forward to as much as she did your first step and your first word. Just like those milestones it will be hard for you to keep this from her. What you say to her is mom; "I know you will probably get all excited with the news I have for you but I find this very embarrassing so please can we just keep this between you, me and if you have to tell him just dad." Then tell her you got your period at camp and you need pads. She will have probably guessed before you get to the end of what you need to say to her, but say it anyway.
Know that you have gotten your period, remind mom you will need to see a gynecologist as part of your really back to school physicals.

You are going to have to tell your mom... Even if you don't, she's going to figure it out eventually anyway.
This doesn't need to be a big deal. You could say: "Mom, I started my period. While I understand that you may be excited because I am growing up and becoming a woman, I'm sort of embarrassed. I would appreciate it if you kept this our little secret."
