    The characters, scripts and performances are surprisingly smart--almost, dare I say, deep. And you still get the comic humiliations, nasty rivalries and teeny bikinis.

    Ironically, Griffiths at times may be a little too much actress for her role. But it takes a village to make a Camp, and watching this crew work to save Little Otter and find summer love is far from the worst thing you could do at 10 o’clock on Wednesday night

    It's an old story. But co-creator Liz Heldens is fluent in teen-speak. [19 Jul 2013, p.80]

    The show, starring Six Feet Under’s Rachel Griffiths (as the camp manager going through a divorce from her husband/business partner), has sweetness and good-hearted humor.

    What emerges, in the three episodes made available for review, is an accessible, easily imbibed summertime series that basically beats actually going to camp for an entire gut-wrenching summer.

    This new hour-long comedy is a bustling, rather scattered affair. [15 Jul 2013]

I thought it was going to some stupid teen drama, but it turned out to be so much better! This show is probably the best tv show of the summer! It isn't a teen drama. It's kinda like Friday Night Lights with more comedy in it. I highly recommend this show… Full Review »

I think it is funny, albeit corny, and has great characters in enjoyable situations. I don't understand how someone can give it a 0 out of 100, the new york post critic must be completely devoid of a sense of humour. Hopefully the network gives this show a shot, I'll definitely be watching!… Full Review »
