About “Camp Camp” in a few words:

“Camp Camp” is an American animated web series created by Miles Luna and Jordan Cwierz. The story revolves around the misadventures of a group of campers and their counselors at the dysfunctional Camp Campbell. The series uniquely blends comedy with moments of heart, often exploring the characters’ backstories and relationships, amidst the backdrop of zany camp activities and outlandish events.

Meet the characters from Camp Camp

David

David is the glittering, sunbeam-laced heart of Camp Camp, the counselor who believes in craft-time miracles and motivational songs that will haunt you in the best way. He’s relentlessly optimistic to the point of being absurd—like, he’ll plan a trust-fall exercise during a sandstorm—and yes sometimes it’s annoyingly wholesome. There are moments when he flips to dead-serious (probably trained in something mysterious) and you remember he isn’t just glitter and face paint. He organizes impossible activities, carries a suspiciously large supply of streamers, and somehow knows everyone’s middle name even if he shouldn’t. Also he might own three identical fanny packs and insist they’re “for team energy,” which, again, works? That’s David.

Max

Max is the little ball of perpetual sarcasm and simmering chaos who makes cynicism look like performance art. He hates everything—camp, crafts, and probably the concept of happiness—except when he definitely doesn’t (like that one time he secretly fixed a stray hamster’s wheel and then lied about it). Sharp-tongued, sarcastic, and impossibly clever, he can hatch pranks and escape plans in the space between eye-rolls. There’s a soft streak buried under the snark that shows up at very inconvenient times, usually around breakfast or if someone insults his favorite cereal. He carries a jagged sense of humor and a slightly too-small backpack full of suspicious tools, and honestly it’s iconic.

Neil

Neil is the sleepy, goth, nonchalant kid who says things like “cool” with the weight of a prophecy and then goes back to knitting or staring into the void. He’s soft-spoken and oddly zen, the kind of kid who quietly diffuses arguments by making a deadpan joke and offering everyone granola—he’s also vegetarian but not in a preachy way, more like a mood. There’s a tiny warrior vibe under the black hoodie though; he knows survival tricks and will absolutely outlast you on a night hike. He hoards herbal tea bags and sometimes laughs at things that make no sense, which is endearing and slightly terrifying.

Nikki

Nikki is the pint-sized human tornado of energy and chaos who will slap together a slingshot, start a dance-off, and yell “teamwork!” all before lunch. She’s loud, fearless, and terrible at following rules unless the rule is “be yourself,” in which case she is extremely punctual. Beneath the bravado there’s a weirdly tender core—she’ll punch a bully but also bring you a bandage shaped like a dinosaur afterwards—don’t ask how this makes sense, it just does. She collects badges like trophies (some of them probably made of pizza crust) and has an unsettling obsession with competitive canoeing. Also she sometimes cries during rom-coms, very unexpectedly, then immediately challenges you to an arm-wrestling match.

Gwen

Gwen is the dry, exhausted, borderline-sarcastic counselor who secretly runs Camp Camp with a spreadsheet and a death stare. She’s sardonic and practical—if optimism were a leaky balloon she’d patch it with duct tape and a schedule—but she actually cares a lot, in that very efficient, slightly bitter way. When she smiles it feels like a rare celestial event and when she shows real warmth it’s disruptive to the natural order, so cherish it. She collects office supplies like they’re cherished relics (binder clips = treasure) and will absolutely manage your emotional crisis if you ask politely and also bring coffee. Also she has a soft spot for ruined art projects and might adopt stray paintbrushes, which is adorable and also very Gwen.
