I think you're thinking of Bug Juice. It was on the Disney Channel for a few years.

I think you might be thinking about Bug Juice maybe? It aired on the Disney Channel from 1998-2000. I know the first camp was Camp Waziyata and Brett (I think that was his name) was one of the camp leaders. Can't remember where the other season was.

Oh, and btw...I love Donkey Lips.

I heard an awesome rumor that Salute Your Shorts was coming out on DVD but Amazon says that there's no availability right now... does anyone know if it's been released yet or if -- like the dearly departed My So Called Life, which now goes for $500 on eBay -- it had a limited DVD run and is now out of print?

I loved that show! It ran on Nickelodian in the early 90's. I remember it had Danny Cooksey, the red-haired kid who played Sam on Diff'rent Strokes.

AChiOhSnap,

I just wanted to share a quick story about the My So Called Life DVD's...I was lucky enough to find the ENTIRE set in excellent condition at a store called "The Exchange" where you can buy, sell, or trade used DVD's, cd's, video games, etc. When I saw the price on the box, I nearly flipped a lid and ran and got a sales associate pronto. The sticker said $30...I couldn't believe it!!

So my advice, go to some stores in your area like that before shelling out the big bucks on ebay!! I'm in the store in my area allllll the time so I will keep my eyes peeled!

tld221,

Yes, you are correct that there was only one season. By saying the "entire collection" in my post, I meant that it had all five discs of the set present. But thank you for passing on additional information!

I remember that show. That's back when Nickelodeon had the best kids' shows. Like Pinwheel and Kwiki the Koala.

Bug Juice
It doesn't come in a jar
Bug juice
It comes from who you are

Isn't the theme song something like that? I can also sing both Saulte Your Shorts and Hey Dude's theme songs.

I loved all the shows and BEGGED my mom to send me to camp. She refused. She was a teacher, and was off all summer, so she saw no reason to send me to sleep away camp.

Bug Juice yes that's it ! thank you all !!

and a little ode to Salute Your Shorts
CAMP ANAWANNA WE HOLD YOU IN OUR HEARTS !!!

I was in the same boat, only my dad was the teacher who was home with us in the summers. On that same note, does anyone remember a reality show about kids at a circus camp? I swear people think I am crazy when I mention this but I could have sworn it was on Nick or Disney maybe 10 years ago or so.
