March 1, 1998 – The Disney Channel Original Series Bug Juice Premieres
“These are the true life adventures of kids at summer camp.”
On March 1 1998, the Disney Channel Original Series Bug Juice premiered. The documentary series featured the story of a group of campers at Camp Waziyatah, located in Waterford, Maine. The series was named after a slang term for a sugary drink usually served at summer camp, most often made from Kool-Aid. The series’ popularity led to two further seasons of the show (set at two other summer camps), as well as three other Disney Channel produced reality series. Although it became a staple of the Disney Channel, the series was pulled after the third series finished in 2001, and was not show again until the summer of 2004; afterwards, it was subsequently pulled again, and has not been aired since.
