Camp Iris: Where all the colors of the rainbow belong...
Grab your gear and prepare for a summer of self-discovery and team competition at Camp Iris.
Nikki Podolski is still questioning her identity when her mom suggests she attend Camp Iris, a monthlong camp for young adults exploring the LGBTQ+ rainbow. Finally persuaded by a visit from the director, a drag queen named Sunshine Fanta, Nikki agrees to go. To her dismay, she discovers that her archenemy Emily Morgan is also attending.
Once they arrive at camp, the students are grouped into teams by interests and assigned a team color: red for the athletes and dancers, blue for the vocal and instrumental musicians, green for the multimedia artists, orange for the political activists, and yellow for the computer techs and gamers. Soon, an all-out Color War is underway. Between craft classes and group discussions, Nikki discovers a burgeoning romance with Gumball, a free spirit whose ambition is to pull off the ultimate camp prank against none other than Nikki's longtime nemesis Emily. Nikki is on board with the plan, of course, but she soon finds herself wondering if victory is worth the cost of her newfound community.
With a fierce competition brewing, can Nikki find peace, love, and her own place in the rainbow?
