Line 3: ''And the lake has alligators,'' ''And [[Drill Sergeant Nasty\|the head coach wants no sissies]],'' ''So he reads to us from something called [[Ulysses]].''~~\|'''[[Allan Sherman]]''', ''Hello Muddah Hello Faddah (A Letter from Camp)''}}~~ \|'''[[Allan Sherman]]'''\|''Hello Muddah Hello Faddah (A Letter from Camp)''}} Summer camps in fiction are usually run like the company from [[Dilbert]]. The enviornment seems to be sentient and out to get you (mosquitos chase you across camp, perfectly timed inconvenient rain, etc.) The food is as bad as cafeteria food. In sports, there's a handful of super-jocks who treat it as [[Serious Business]] and reduce everyone else to terror. Arts and crafts are so boring you want to be back in school. The bathrooms are outhouses that require a full nature hike to reach. The teenage counselors are awesomely stupid and actually take the "camp spirit" and "camp traditions" seriously, often bordering on [[Pointy-Haired Boss]]. Line 12 ⟶ 13: Unlike the [[Boarding School of Horrors]], these places tend to be played for laughs. Compare [[Horrible Camping Trip]]. See [[Fat Camp]] for a more specialized type of summer camp. {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == [[Film]] == * ''[[Camp Nowhere]]'' is about a gang of kids who will do anything to avoid being sent to summer camp, up to and including their own fake camp. Line 21 ⟶ 22: * Pugsly and Wednesday are sent to camp against their will in ''[[The Addams Family\|Addams Family Values]]''. * The whole movie ''[[Daddy Day Camp]]''. * ''[[Friday the 13th (film)\|Friday the 13 th]]'' popularized the Summer Camp settings among the [[Slasher ~~Movies~~Movie]]s in the early 80's80s, with such examples as ''[[The Burning]]'', ''[[Sleepaway Camp]]'', ''[[Madman]]'' and ''Bodycount'' following the suite. * The 1985 made-for-TV film ''[[Poison Ivy]]'' starred [[Michael J. Fox]] and was set in one of these. ** ''[[Camp Cucamonga]]'' (1990) is another made-for-TV example. * ''[[Little Darlings]]'' involves two teenage girls making a [[The Bet\|bet]] as to which of them will be the first to [[Sex as Rite-Ofof-Passage\|lose her virginity]] at a summer camp. * ''Indian Summer'' has a group of adults returning to the summer camp of their childhoods at the invitation of the camp's retiring director. * ''[[Camp Rock]]'' is set at a summer music camp. Line 72 ⟶ 73: == [[Web Original]] == * [https://web.archive.org/web/20131104133357/http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs11.html One issue] of ''[[Teen Girl Squad]]'' had three of the girls going to "Camp Firstbassawassa", which had recently installed "working toilet paper" ("I'm gonna miss the oak leaves"). Whats-Her-Face's bunkmate turns out to be an emaciated, diabetic raccoon girl, the boys' camp across the lake turns out to be a "Cosplayover Camp" inhabited by nerds like Sci-Fi Greg, and Whats-Her-Face and the Ugly One get killed by a chainsaw-wielding "Maniac in a Speedo!" == [[Western Animation]] == Line 85 ⟶ 86: {{reflist}} [[Category:Settings]]▼ [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] ▲[[Category:Settings]]
