Kamp Krusty

Location Information Use: Summer Camp Owner: Krusty the Clown

Kamp Krusty is a summer camp for kids.

History

Kamp Krusty was a very bad, low-budgeted camp. Krusty himself was not the actual creator of the camp. It was implied that his corporation created the camp and then bribed Krusty to put his name on it, something he later came to regret.

Before the camp opened, a TV commerical aired, promising plenty of fun activities and the prospect of spending the whole summer with Krusty. Instead, there were no fun activities; the campers' cabins were little more than rickety shacks; the kids were put to work as sweatshop laborers and forced to eat gruel; and the overweight kids were put into a fat camp where the food was so bad that Martin was later delighted to have gruel. In addition, Krusty himself never appeared at the camp; it was staffed by an uncaring director (Mr. Black) and the school bullies as counselors.

In spite of the horrific conditions, Bart kept up his spirits by telling himself that Krusty would come. But when Mr. Black tried to pass off a poorly-disguised Barney Gumble as Krusty, that was the last straw. Bart in short order led a revolt where the kids took over, freed the overweight kids from the fat camp, and drove Mr. Black and the bullies away. When the revolution was complete, Bart renamed Kamp Krusty to "Camp Bart", commemorating the takeover by lowering the camp's original flag and raising one that resembled a Jolly Roger.

The kids' revolt made the news. Krusty, who was vacationing in England, saw the coverage, quickly returned to Springfield, and succeeded in restoring order at the camp. Krusty then took all of the kids to Tijuana in order to make up for the bad time they had had.^[1]

Non-canon

The contents of this article or section are considered to be non-canon and therefore may not have actually happened or existed.

The Simpsons: Hit and Run

Note: In this section the video game controller buttons refer to the PS2. The "Triangle button" is the equivalent to the "Y" button on the Xbox.

In the video game The Simpsons: Hit & Run, on the Squidport levels there, Kamp Krusty can be found. It is located near the Springfield Dam, and an under-construction bridge. The School Bus can be brought from Otto. When the character goes near a Kamp Krusty "Flag-Gag", you should press the "Triangle" button to activate the gag. When activated, the flag changes and says Camp Bart, much like in the episode. Another gag is a well, and when you jump into a Well and press the "triangle" button, you end up near the observatory. There is also pig's head on a spear (which was also seen momentarily in the episode) which becomes covered with flies when you activate it. This is a reference to Lord of the Flies.^[2]

Trivia

• 

  Kamp Krusty as depicted in the comic story Into the Woods.
  In the television episode, Kamp Krusty is a vast place with a number of buildings and nature areas. However, in the game it is extremely small, with no nature areas whatsoever, and very few buildings.
• Kamp Krusty also looks different in the comics: The television episode shows Kamp Krusty as being rustic and run-down and in the middle of nowhere, whereas in the comics the buildings are modern and well-kept and the camp is located right next to a town.^[3]
• When the kids are on their way to Kamp Krusty, the bridge leading to the camp collapses just after the bus drives across it. Later, when Krusty takes the kids to Tijuana, they're driving the bus, but how they left isn't specified.^[1]
• Martin Prince, Jr. is seen in the overweight institute, along with his friends.^[1]
