NBC Aims to Fill the Summer Months with Camp
7 January 2013 12:06 PM, PST | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Coming soon to a TV near you is a series that will take a good look at what it’s like to spend your hot, sunny, work-free days at a summer camp. The series, an hour-long drama from Deception’s Liz Heldens and Peter Elkoff, is called Camp and already has its work cut out for it since NBC greenlit its 13-episode season to air during the summer months, a time that has proven very tough for scripted series on broadcast networks. Cable networks have found great success during the summer months, but they otherwise remain a slow time to air original programs.
NBC argues Camp is perfect for claiming the summer for itself. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Camp will be set at Little Hawk Family Camp, where parents seek to relax from their heavy work lives with alcohol in hand and the teenagers get up to know good »

NBC will go to 'Camp' this summer

NBC has given a 13-episode order to "Camp," described as a "sly new drama series." Created by Liz Heldens and Peter Elkoff of "Deception," "Camp" will begin production in March and will air on NBC this summer. In an odd twist, "Camp" will shoot in Australia, even though nothing seems to be Australian about the show. [The project also has no connection to "Camp Rock," the 2003 Todd Graff film "Camp" or underused actress Anna Camp.] The network compares "Camp" to "Meatballs" -- We're there! -- and "Dazed and Confused," saying that it takes place at Little Hawk Family »
