Synopsis
Emma, Ravi and Zuri Ross eagerly return to Camp Kikiwaka ready to forge new friendships and memories as counselors, only to discover the Woodchuck and Grizzly cabins were never rebuilt after the fire and previous owner Gladys has fled with the insurance money. With hopes of building a bigger and better camp solely operated by kids, the Ross siblings convince their parents to buy Kikiwaka and put them in charge. Just as the Ross siblings relied on each other their first year at camp, a new trio of first-time campers instantly bond and manage to stir up a ton of hijinks and adventure at every turn for their newfound leaders. Matteo Silva, a cautious kid who can find danger in any situation, would rather not be at camp; Finn Sawyer, an energetic boy and cousin of camp counselor Lou, has realized his dream of attending Camp Kikiwaka; and Destiny Baker, a young girl who has spent her childhood on the pageant circuit, is accustomed to getting things her way. No matter the situation, Emma, Ravi, Zuri and Lou stick together to try and create summer magic for their younger peers and a Camp Kikiwaka fueled by teamwork, friendship and family fun.
