Camp Crookline is an all original musical which follows the story of 12 teens who go to summer camp and get lost in the woods while searching for the mysterious lost ring of the camp’s legendary and long-lost founder, the crazy Humphrey Crookline. Forced to work together to find their way back to camp, mishaps and hilarity ensue! Choices, trust, talking trees and wistful wildflowers, a mysterious legend, a lost love and a lost ring; the crooked paths each camper follows leads them to places they never knew they could go.
