Camp Getaway

This show sucks. I guess you have to under 25 to watch a show less about camp than hooking up with another counselor. 🙄

I had high hopes for this series. I enjoy Bravo's other series that revolve around a fixed cast that serves clients that change from episode to episode. Obviously the Below Deck franchise is on the top for that concept. I also enjoyed Timber Creek Lodge and Apres Ski (which were essentially like Below Deck, but guests rent a staffed cabin/house in a ski resort town instead of a yacht). I think I prefer those shows because they seem more intimate. Those shows are just the staff and a small handful of guests. In this series they focus on a small group of guests and make it seem like they are the most important, but it is obvious that the camp is very much full with other people that just seem to be a distraction. At the end of the episode I feel like I haven't gotten to know the guests at all. Additionally, the guests are doing what all guests do on these shows by creating their own story line to try to seem interesting to get screen time during their five minutes of fame. But because there are so many people, it just comes across as chaotic. It works much better in Below Deck. In terms of the fixed cast... meh. I mean they have the formula... the flamboyant gay guy, the "funny" girl, the serious ones, the easy going ones that constantly screw up, but this cast doesn't quite have it. I am 3 episodes in and not invested. I can't put my finger on it, but it doesn't have the spark that so many Bravo shows have. I don't get excited when I see it on my DVR. Sorry, Bravo!

I have personally been to club getaway so I get why they thought it would be a good idea- young professionals acting like kids on the weekend just like in summer house.

however, this is a group of very blah people with very dull scenarios. Really, nothing happens in this show. No one is particularly attractive or likable and nothing particularly interesting happens on this show. I can't imagine having a favorite person on this show because no one does anything noteworthy or has a personality including the guests.

I've been a huge Bravo fan a for quite a while now. There was a moment in time where the channel alittle dip of a drop in viewers for some programs. This program and Acarpri Ski were the first of their kind-so to speak? The channel basically the concept of Below Deck and tried to place the within other series on the channel. Unfortunately, this show suffered from folks playing to hard to get to on camera.

It didn't make sense to be that excited about not being paid to host weekend summer camps for adults. I would have ran out very quickly! But the concept of the business trying to make work on volunteers is what made it interesting. If that's a good way of putting it?

The lead counselor and Owner of the camp had some sort of really strange relationship. I think that they were dating, but it becomes evident that this dyamic usually doesnt bode well the camp's large staff. I just remember the Owner trying to help get his camp's Saturday party started and the counselor just yelling at the other co-workers.

I remember that they had two younger volunteers-one lady was named Riley and the other young man (forgot the name!) worked as real estate agent and are sort of brought into help the camp attract new guests. It becomes evident- that working full time on the weekends and not getting paid is a waste of time! You'll mostly see those two workers, along with a lady named Dr. Ro, who also works on the camp staf. She seems to enjoy it, but she might have a way higher position at the camp. I just remember that sometimes Dr. Ro would excuse the head counselor and owner's bad bevahior. Her conflict comes when she tries to get to the new workers at this camp (mind you-we're all around our late 30s) to open up about their personal lives.

With this series, it unfortately, suffers from the same fate as Orange County, alot of cast members were just looking to break into TV. The concept of an all volunteer camp doesn't seem far fetched, but for Bravo it didn't seem as authentic or the folks had much more to lose with their drama. If you can binge it in a day, I would. But if not-I would just wait on this one. Summer House premeired later, and it's definately the better version of this program.

Great idea for a show, always thought it would be call to go to a summer camp for adults and this is it
