## Spoilers
### Premise and characters
The series follows Max, a jaded ten-year-old stuck at the dysfunctional Camp Campbell, a summer camp run by the shady business mogul and con man Cameron Campbell, who is looking to turn a profit any way he can.[5](https://roosterteeth.fandom.com/wiki/Camp_Camp) • [3](https://www.awn.com/news/rooster-teeths-camp-camp-returns-march) Max makes two friends who help him constantly torment the counselors: Neil, upset that this is not Science Camp, and the feral, exuberant Nikki, a self-declared "agent of chaos" who immediately bites camp counselor David to assert dominance.[1](https://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/camp_camp) • [6](https://television.fandom.com/wiki/Camp_Camp)
**The counselors.** David is annoyingly cheerful and keeps trying his best; his colleague Gwen is far less enthusiastic, and has an evident fondness for *Doctor Who*.[1](https://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/camp_camp) • [6](https://television.fandom.com/wiki/Camp_Camp) Also on staff is the hook-handed [Quartermaster](https://www.edgepedia.org/quartermaster), described as resembling "the bad guy from every horror movie ever".[1](https://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/camp_camp) Other campers include the fishbowl-wearing Space Kid, the role-playing girl Ered, and Harrison, a so-so conjurer who can do real magic, at one point bringing a snowman to life that begs for death.[1](https://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/camp_camp)
### Content and style
Genre tropes run through the episodes. Neil accidentally creates artificial intelligence from old graphing calculators, and the AI tries unsuccessfully to upload itself to the internet; a [Moon landing](https://www.edgepedia.org/moon-landing) is faked for Space Kid because his camp brochure over-promised. The camp theater stages a Shakespeare sequel, *Romeo and Juliet II: Love Resurrected*, with a robot Romeo and a magically reanimated Juliet. Other features include the ghost of a former camper, a mad scientist's laboratory, a squirrel king, a zombie parody, and a cult leader whose philosophy resembles [Scientology](https://www.edgepedia.org/scientology), with nods to *Back to the Future* (1985), *Black Mirror* (2011-2019), and *The Terminator* (1984).[1](https://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/camp_camp)
Though the show is cheerfully offensive and full of swearing, glimmers of heart appear as it goes on: Max's bitterness derives from having loveless parents, and his relationship with David often mirrors that of a father and son. When Max argues that "life sucks and we live in a world with desensitized, apathetic assholes", David answers "that's why I never stop trying, because somebody fucking has to". The Christmas episode ends with a plea from the children about global warming, though Max breaks the mood with his opinion of climate change deniers and parents who do not vaccinate their kids.[1](https://sf-encyclopedia.com/entry/camp_camp)
## Production and release history
Rooster Teeth announced the series on April 1, 2016 with a trailer on its website and YouTube, alongside the premiere of *RWBY Chibi* and the fourteenth season of *Red vs. Blue*.[5](https://roosterteeth.fandom.com/wiki/Camp_Camp) • [9](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/webseries/camp-camp.html) The first season originally consisted of 10 episodes and was extended by two, for a total of 12, due to positive reception.[10](https://campcamp.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_Guide) Episodes aired on Fridays for Rooster Teeth FIRST members and Saturdays for site members.[5](https://roosterteeth.fandom.com/wiki/Camp_Camp)
