They were movies so awful they only starred TV actors who couldn't find work in Hollywood movies while their shows were on hiatus. This movie is notable for staring a young and very sexy Jennifer Aniston with her original nose. There's also Jaleel White, before he went all Steve Urkel. His Camp Cucamonga rap while other casts such as Aniston dance badly has to be seen to be believe. The cast is a who's who of the D-list of TV shows, such as John Ratzenberger, Sherman Hemsley, and G. Gordon Liddy for some reason. There's Chad Allen from Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman back before he came out of the closet and Candace Cameron before she started making all those Lifetime movies and Danica McKellar from The Wonder Years along with that Paul guy and the leather jacket guy from Head of the Class before he started directing movies and the woman from Mama's Family and the Beaver's son from Still the Beaver and Breckin Meyer proving that he can screw up a made for TV movie. All I remember from this show is it's a lot like Melrose Place meets Meatballs. Everyone seems to be dating everyone else. But those were the days. No, thank God, something like this wouldn't even be greenlighted for TV.

This movie features an ensemble cast of sitcom stars of the time, including a bunch of bit players and feature actors from Full House, the Wonder Years, Head of the Class and Saved By The Bell. Danica McKellar plays an angsty teen who enjoys heavy metal, and Urkel is in this as a regular cool kid. Cliff Clavin runs the camp! And there's a very very bizarre sequence where Sherman Helmsley walks in an awkward pose for 17 hours telling a ghost story.
OMG...Christy! "So you ride too...is there anything you can't do?"
(I flunked geometry!)
Take every camp cliche in the book, horrible C-list actors sprinkled with a few horrible future A list actors, a bad script, and hokey 90s clothing then you have this rot.
I watched this movie when I was 13, before Jennifer Aniston was famous. I still love it and hope one day to find it and buy it.
