Camp America
The Summer Camp Rookie
Zoe (the resident summer camp expert) and George (who’s never set foot in a camp cabin) unpack the wild world of Camp America, pulling in a new guest each week to discuss their unique and occasionally bizarre experiences across the pond. From what it’s really like to work at an American summer camp to the culture shocks, camp traditions, and lifelong friendships. Zoe spills the insider secrets while George simply wonders what's going on.
