Synopsis
Set in a world of anthropomorphic animals, Summer Camp Island follows two childhood best friends Oscar, an elephant; and Hedgehog, a mammal of the same name, who are dropped off at a magical summer camp. The camp is a host to many bizarre occurrences such as: camp counselors who are popular girl witches, horses that transform into unicorns, talking sharks, yetis, haunted cabins, post-it notes that lead to other dimensions and nosey monsters that live under the bed. Oscar and Hedgehog must contend with these out-of-place events and make their stay at camp worthwhile.
