Season 1 will bring the group halfway through their first summer They will start to get into the groove of working there and seeing the dirty underbelly of becoming the adults in the room at age 20. It ends with the drama and realization that taking care of children together is beginning to spark deeper relationships. This is especially true between Alli and Carson--made worse when Carson's girlfriend comes to work at camp. Season 2 continues introduces new challenges like helicopter parents, horse girl campers and counselors that fall into every stereotype, and the reckoning of how fast summer can go by.
Season 3 and 4 would be the second summer of the counselors--in which they carry in new drama having become different people through the intrim year of school they separately have. Season 4 would focus too on the inevitability of growing up and needed to leave camp to enter the 'real world'--something not so easily done by any of our characters.
