Camp follows five British teenagers with TouretteâEUR(TM)s Syndrome as they spend a week in a unique summer camp where they are allowed to swear, behave obsessively, act compulsively and enjoy every minute of it. The group are the first British children to take part in the week-long program for those with the medical condition. Characteristics of this condition include chronic muscular and vocal tics, which can be socially stigmatising for sufferers. But these arenâEUR(TM)t simply youngsters who swear a lot (though some of them do) and they are certainly not mentally ill âEUR" all they want is to do the things other teenagers do.
