Camp Runamuck was an American sitcom which ran on NBC during the 1965-1966 television season that related the wacky goings-on at the titular boys' summer camp, and at Camp Divine, its girls counterpart across the lake. Runamuck was run by Commander Wivenhoe (Arch Johnson), a man who couldn't stand kids, and senior counselor Spiffy (Dave Ketchum), his assistant of sorts.

Helping them out were counselor Pruett (Dave Madden, who would later play Reuben Kincaid on "The Partridge Family"), Doc Joslyn, and camp cook Malden. Eulalia Divine (Hermione Baddeley) was the owner of the girls' camp, which was run by chief counselor Mahalia May Gruenecker (Alice Nunn). Nina Wayne (older sister to the late Carol) played Camp Divine's curvaceous counsellor Caprice Yeudleman.

The competitiveness between the two camps and the incidents and accidents that would normally occur at such summer camps - missing kids, people falling into the lake, food poisoning, and so on - formed the basis of most of the show's plots.

It all added up to innocent, wholesome fun, suitable for showing in the UK by the BBC on Saturday mornings ten years after it aired in the United States. (Although this was the first network UK screening of "Camp Runamuck", the series was aired by some ITV regional stations in 1969.)

Notes

The composer and bandleader Frank DeVol played the part of Doc Joslyn in the opening episode but illness forced him to quit the role.
