FAMILY BRAT CAMP
The award winning series BRAT CAMP returns – this time it’s FAMILY BRAT CAMP.

Could it be TRUE? ".... that troubled teens have bad parents?"

For the first time ever, a group of tearaway teenage Brits AND their parents are stripped of all home comforts and taken to a tough American wilderness camp. This new series, shot in 2006, follows four families as they endure the unrelenting physical and emotional strain of living and surviving together, in the barren deserts of Idaho.

The parents are forced to take responsibility for their kids’ actions – including the binge drinking and pot smoking, and eventually have to face the difficult truth - that if their kids are ever going to change, they too must change.

This challenging series follows the desperate families, as they make this last ditch effort to re-build the bonds of love that have been broken by the self indulgent, rebellious behaviour of teenage brats.

These parents spend gruelling weeks in the desert with their own children; hiking for miles, sleeping outside and living on a diet of lentils, hoping to save their families from destruction.

But will it work?
