Ah, summer camp. The glorious memories of campfires, lakes and watching the Jonas Brothers perform live before one of them joins you as a fellow camper. Well, maybe not the last one.
Unless you were lucky enough to attend a real-life "Camp Rock," odds are your summer camp was nothing like the Disney Channel flick. As much as it hurts our hearts to say it, here are all the reasons why we weren't living in a rock-and-roll wonderland every summer.
-
First of all, the Jonas Brothers weren’t there.
Disney Channel
And they definitely didn’t perform.
-
The boys were nowhere near this cute.
Disney Channel
-
With the humidity, no one’s hair looked this good.
Disney Channel
-
You didn’t learn any huge life lessons.
Disney Channel
-
Your cafeteria dance parties weren't this coordinated.
Disney Channel
-
Kitchen duty was not at all fun.
Disney Channel
-
Your lake was more brown and less beautiful.
Disney Channel
-
There were no outdoor jam sessions.
Disney Channel
Or indoor, really.
-
The buildings were never this clean.
Disney Channel
-
Neither was the dining hall.
Disney Channel
-
You had no way of getting outfits that would match this perfectly.
Disney Channel
Unfortunately none of the cabins house a mall.
-
There was no life-defining musical moment.
Disney Channel
BUT there's one way it was totally the same: you made friends for life.

And that's the best part.
