Plot

Morris "Mud" Himmel has a problem. His parents desperately want to send him away to summer camp. He hates going to summer camp, and would do anything to get out of it. Talking to his friends, he realizes that they are all facing the same sentence: a boring summer camp. Together with his friends, he hatches a plan to trick all the parents into sending them to a camp of his own design, which would actually be a parent-free paradise. Blackmailing former drama teacher Dennis Van Welker into helping, they must convince the parents that the camp is genuine, and that they aren't allowed to visit.

Trivia

★ This film features a young Jessica Alba in her first film role.

★ This was the fourth film starring both Christopher Lloyd and Tom Wilson. Previously the two actors worked together in the ''Back to the Future trilogy''.

★ A 2006 film, ''Accepted'', has a similar premise, but for college rather than summer camp.

★ Judging by the fact they went through a car wash in Shamokin, it implies that the camp is located in Pennsylvania's Coal Region.

★ In one scene, after Mud burned his arm with fireworks and was prescribed painkillers, Dennis instructed him to take "four, every hour", but Mud corrected him by stating it was "one every four hours". Dennis then admitted that that was "not the first time this has gotten me in trouble..."

★ This film contains cameos from three Star Trek alumni: Christopher Lloyd (Star Trek III), Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek the Next Generation), and Kate Mulgrew (Star Trek Voyager).
