No.9: SpaceCamp

Loads of kids dream of being astronauts, but the kids who go to Space Camp (which is a real thing!) are serious about it, and this oldie-but-a-goodie is all about a bunch of space campers being forced to put their new learned skills to the test when they're forced into orbit.

No.8: Camp Nowhere

For every kid who loves camp, there's one who doesn't (but of course is forced to go anyway). Camp Nowhere is about a group of camp misfits who subvert the system by creating their own camp and making their own rules - anything goes at Camp Nowhere!
