Released on Friday, August 26, 1994, this adventure comedy directed by Jonathan Prince captured the hearts of a generation yearning for freedom and fun.
At the heart of "Camp Nowhere" lies Morris "Mud" Himmel, a junior high student facing a familiar predicament: the dreaded summer camp sentence. His parents, like so many others, are determined to pack him off to a summer program, but Mud harbors a deep aversion to the whole idea. He loathes the regimentation, the forced activities, and the sheer lack of control over his own summer destiny. He's not alone. His friends share his disdain for the usual summer camp options computer camp, fat camp, military camp, and drama camp all represent different forms of parental control and adolescent misery. Realizing they're all facing the same unwanted fate, Mud and his friends hatch a daring plan: to create their own camp, a place where they make the rules, where parents are absent, and where summer is truly their own.
