There are the humiliating weigh-ins and grueling workouts, as expected. But the campers are also encouraged to donate blood-at their age!

This place might not be so bad . . . until campers start going missing and other suspicious things begin happening-especially after dark. The camp ghost might be the least scary thing about this place. . . .
