Synopsis

The campers are sent to an insane boot camp, Chef Hatchet style, and you better believe it's going to be rough. The only rule: they go until everyone drops out and one camper is left standing. Duncan gets up in Master Chief Chef's grill one too many times and gets thrown in the fishing cabin as punishment. When Courtney confronts Duncan about why he always has to break the rules, Duncan challenges HER to break one for a change. A midnight mess hall raid is just what the doctor ordered to loosen up goody-goody Courtney and maybe even hook up the two unlikeliest campers.

Production notes

Twenty-two teens have just been sent to the oldest, moldiest, most beat-up, run-down, bug-infested summer camp in Northern Ontario, where they'll be forced to endure a summer of leaky cabins, crappy food and increasingly insane challenges. Only one can win - the rest will walk the dreaded Dock of Shame.
