Plot
The story follows Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato), an aspiring young musician who hopes to become a
professional singer. Mitchie wants to go to a music camp named "Camp Rock". Since the family can not
afford the tuition, Mitchie's mother, Connie (Maria Canals Barrera), arranges to cater food for the camp,
thus allowing Mitchie to attend. In return, Mitchie must help her mother out in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, spoiled pop star Shane Gray (Joe Jonas), of Connect 3, has been assigned to be in charge of
dance classes for one month at Camp Rock by his bandmates Jason (Kevin Jonas) and Nate (Nick
Jonas) and is forced to record a song with the winner of Final Jam. Shane accidentally hears someone
singing on the first day and falls in love with the voice, but does not know the identity of the singer.
During Opening Jam, Mitchie learns that many of the campers have notable roots and is embarrassed
that she was only able to come to the camp because of her mother's catering service. She lies and tells
Tess Tyler (Meaghan Jette Martin), a girl known for her famous mother and her popularity, that her
mother is the president of Hot Tunes TV China. Tess, impressed, invites Mitchie to bunk with her group.
Caitlyn (Alyson Stoner) warns Mitchie that becoming one of Tess's background girls will not be as she
expects.
When Mitchie overhears Shane's new song, she compliments him. Shane, doubtful that his record
label and his fans would accept the song, begins to fall for Mitchie. In the cafeteria, Tess and Caitlyn
begin to throw spaghetti at each other and Mitchie gets in the middle of the fight. Brown, the owner of the
camp, breaks the fight up and Tess frames Caitlyn for the incident. Brown punishes Caitlyn by having her
work in the kitchen and Mitchie, who is worried that Caitlyn will learn her secret, does not help her out.
When Mitchie accidentally enters the kitchen while Caitlyn is working, Caitlyn learns about Mitchie's
secret. At Pajama Jam, Mitchie supports Caitlyn when Tess attempts to upstage her show. Mitchie and
Caitlyn reconcile.
Shane spreads the word that he is searching for a girl with "the voice." When Tess sees Mitchie and
Shane rowing together, she becomes jealous and after finding out about Mitchie's secret, tells the entire
camp. Shane believes that Mitchie lied to him just to use him and Mitchie gets kicked out of Tess's group.
On the eve of Final Jam, Tess tricks Mitchie and Caitlyn into not participating until the Final Jam is over
by telling Brown that they stole her charm bracelet.
At Final Jam, Ella (Anna Maria Perez de Tagle) and Peggy (Jasmine Richards) confront Tess and leave
her group. When Tess performs her song, she learns that her mother is in the audience. Unfortunately,
her mother leaves the room after getting a phone call and Tess stumbles on the stage. After Brown
announces that Final Jam is over, Mitchie comes out on stage and performs her song, which Shane
realizes is the same one he heard on the first day of camp. He sings with her on stage and makes up with
her. The judges, Connect 3 (Kevin, Nick and Joe Jonas), announce the winner: Peggy, who had
performed under the name "Margaret Dupree." The cast ends Final Jam by performing "We Rock."


Camp Rock - Summary
Mitchie Torres is even more excited about summer when she finds out that, thanks to her mom
landing a catering job there, she will be going to the prestigious Camp Rock, where she hopes to lose
herself in the music and work on her talent for singing. All she has to do is agree to help out in the
kitchen a little. No problem! - except that upon arriving at the camp, Mitchie quickly figures out that
being the daughter of the camp cook will not make her any friends.
In an effort to fit in, Mitchie tells a tiny little lie about her mother's occupation. Being the daughter of
an executive at Hot Tunes China sounds a lot better. Unbelievably, the lie works, and Mitchie finds
herself in with the in-crowd led by Tess, the popular and rich daughter of a famous singer. Mitchie
even becomes friends with Shane Gray. A rebel singer in a hot new group, Shane reluctantly agreed to
be a Camp Rock instructor in an effort to make up for his mistakes and garner some good PR for the
band.
Shane is searching for a girl he overheard singing when he first arrived at the camp, but he and
Mitchie develop a strong friendship as the summer goes on. So, Shane is devasted when Mitchie's lies
blow up in her face. Mitchie finds herself excluded from the in-crowd, and even worse, excluded from
the camp activities. Can she show everyone the truth about who she really is in time to win back her
friends and save her summer?
Also, the movie contains some scenes wherein characters display bad attitudes or examples. Tess is a
jealous girl who belittles and manipulates others in order to make herself look good. Also, Mitchie does
lie about who she is, but she eventually learns the importance of being true to herself. The characters
and conflicts work together to express a positive lesson - that it is important to be yourself and be
true to who you are.
Camp Rock - Discuss the Movie
Why did Mitchie lie about her mother's career? Did this really work in her favor, even if the
other kids had not found out?
What was the main reason behind Shane's rebellious behavior? How could he have handled his
feelings in a more productive way?
What could be some of the real reasons behind Tess' mean behavior? What caused her sudden
turn around at the end of the movie?

The Jonas Brothers star in this Disney Channel Original Movie about a working class girl determined to
refine her musical talent at an acclaimed summer workshop, and the newfound sense of confidence she
gains after meeting the singer of a popular musical act. Camp Rock is the place where young musicians
go to grow into talented musicians. Mitchie Torres has always dreamt of spending a summer at Camp
Rock, but her family can't afford the tuition costs. When Mitchie's mother announces that she got her
daughter a discount on tuition by agreeing to work as the camp cook, the young musician is overjoyed at
the prospect of actually attending Camp Rock. Though at first intimidated by the more privileged
campers, Mitchie soon strikes up a friendship with the decidedly down-to-earth Caitlyn, who dreams of
some day becoming a music producer. Later, Mitchie tries to impress popular girls Tess, Peggy, and Ella
by claiming that her mother is a powerful executive at Hot Tunes TV, a tall tale that ultimately gets her
invited to sing back up for the catty clique. Meanwhile, Connect 3's summer tour has been cancelled,
and lead singer Shane Gray seems to have lost his passion for music. His bandmates Jason and Nate
think that a stint in Camp Rock would be the perfect thing to help the singer get his ego back in check,
and soon after arriving Shane is captivated by Mitchie's voice. Unlike the other campers, Mitchie seems
to genuinely appreciate Shane's creativity rather than simply fawning over his stardom, and it before
long the pair has become fast friends. But Tess is jealous of Mitchie and Shane's budding friendship, and
upon discovering the truth about the humble singer's mother, the scheming mean girl makes it her
mission to get ensure that neither Mitchie nor Caitlyn perform at the upcoming Final Jam competition.
Later, as Shane, Nate, and Jason take their seats on the judge's panel for the Final Jam, Mitchie attempts
to overcome her fear, step into the spotlight, and show everyone her true talent. Jason Buchanan, Rovi


Featuring appearances by all three of the Jonas brothers,Camp Rock stars Demi Lovato as Mitchie Torres
- an aspiring musician who'd love nothing more than to spend the summer at the eponymous
destination. Her wish comes true after her mother (Maria Canals-Barrera's Connie) lands a gig at the
camp as the head chef, with trouble inevitably ensuing as Mitchie starts lying about her familial history
in an effort to fit in with the cool kids. Camp Rock unfolds in a manner that's virtually guaranteed to thrill
tweens and bore adults, as screenwriters Karin Gist, Regina Hicks, Julie Brown, and Paul Brown offer up
a storyline that's as hopelessly hackneyed as one might've expected. Their stubborn refusal to even
momentarily deviate from the formulaic template certainly plays an instrumental role in the film's
undeniably tedious atmosphere, and one ultimately can't shake the feeling that the whole thing exists to
give Disney a shot at anotherHigh School Musical-type sensation (and indeed, a sequel is already in the
works). The most depressing aspect of Camp Rock, however, is undoubtedly the presence of Dean
Cundey behind the camera, as the famed cinematographer - he's worked on such classics as, among
others, the Back to the Future trilogy, Jurassic Park, and The Thing - deserves so much better than this.

Characters and cast
Main article: List of characters from Camp Rock (film series)
Mitchie Torres (Demi Lovato) is a girl who hopes to be a singer some day. Her dream is to go to
Camp Rock, but her family cannot afford the expensive camp. The only way she could go was if
her mother would be the cook, and she tries to hide that fact in fear of rejection.
Shane Gray (Joe Jonas) is the famous lead singer of the band "Connect 3". He is sent to Camp
Rock, in hopes that it would help him, and get rid of his cocky and arrogant attitude. At the
camp, he hears a terrific voice, and spends most of his time trying to find the girl who sang (who
is really Mitchie.) Later, he meets Mitchie and they become friends, yet he doesn't know it is the
girl with the voice. He eventually finds out she is the girl with the voice towards the end of the
film.
Theresa "Tess" Tyler (Meaghan Jette Martin) is the daughter of the famous T.J. Tyler, she wishes
to be a singer, like her mother. She is a diva and often gets her way, even if she has to hurt
people. She craves attention and is always hoping to impress Shane; the reason for her behavior
is because her mother was often too busy with her career to care for or even pay attention to
her. Upon meeting Mitchie, Tess immediately sees her as competition and makes several plots
to get her out of the way. She is the main antagonist of the film.
