CAMP! is an ensemble musical comedy, which follows a group of teens as they attend their favourite sleep away summer camp. 

Nova and August have been best friends since their first summer at Camp Clover when they were nine, but something has snapped within their friendship between the end of camp last year and the beginning of camp this year. Now, as seventeen year olds, they are not speaking and, worse, they seem to have it out for each other. Through games of capture the flag, bonfires and the end of summer dance, we learn about how friendships come to be and what happens when they grow apart.
