BACKGROUND
Consider this your spoiler warning. I like to go into detail with plot points, so you might want to ensure you’ve watched Camp Rock 3 before reading anymore.
Camp Rock was one of those Disney Channel musical series that managed to capture the attention of a whole generation, as it followed in the footsteps of The Cheetah Girls and High School Musical in the 2000s, arguably the best Disney Channel era.
It has since come to our attention though that making Camp Rock (2008) and its sequel Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010) was not as wholesome an experience as the young viewers were led to believe. It was safe to say that this franchise wasn’t going to go much further after the sequel, so we had all simply given up hope of a third film.
But strangely, in 2025, Disney Channel announced that a Camp Rock 3 was heading to television screens for Summer 2026, and fans started to get excited, especially when they found out the Jonas Brothers would be returning, as would Demi Lovato as a producer. I’d like to point out I was not excited and was just concerned, because I knew Camp Rock 3 would not feel the same as the previous two. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as I have managed to find plenty to enjoy about the latest additions of the Descendants franchise.
However, something just told me that Camp Rock 3 was not going to be good. My instincts were entirely correct this time. I found this film uninspiring, and really disliked the recycled songs and moments from the first two films. These were clearly added in for “nostalgia”, but it was just unnecessary, feeling like Disney couldn’t decide whether they were making a tribute to the earlier two films or trying to make something fresh and new, ending up somewhere in the middle with no real direction.
The main thing I did like about Camp Rock 3 was the random addition of Milo Manheim as a former Camp Rock camper in a cameo that lasted less than five minutes. I didn’t like this cameo because I felt it was needed; it was just that I like Milo Manheim. He seems like a good guy. Positive, upbeat, always showing up for Disney. Seeing Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers again was nice too, I suppose, but I’d been expecting the Jonas Brothers to be in Camp Rock 3 a lot more than they actually were.
I don’t like to be mean about new Disney Channel movies, regardless of how this introduction might sound, because I am aware that many of these films feature young, up-and-coming actors and singers, just trying to get a foothold in the industry, so I do try to be careful with what I say. So, to be clear, my dislike of Camp Rock 3 has nothing to do with the young cast and their acting or singing abilities; it’s all to do with what they were given.
PLOT
For anyone uncertain whether Camp Rock had survived its battle with Camp Star in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, the answer is quite clear at the start of Camp Rock 3. Camp Rock is still going and is actually thriving, with kids coming from all across the country to attend the camp over the summer, following in the footsteps of their idols and former Camp Rock alum.
One lucky camper very excited to be at Camp Rock for the first time is Sage Scott. She can’t wait to get started. The only trouble is she’s here with her brother, Desi, a fellow music lover, who is downplaying his happiness at being at Camp Rock simply because he is still annoyed at Sage for breaking up their band. He doesn’t seem to want to have much to do with his sister anymore. Meanwhile, other campers start to arrive including a cellist named Rosie; and a boy who constantly drums, Cliff. Rosie ends up being bunkmates with Sage Heading outside, Sage sees some more campers arriving, including stuck-up influencer Maddie and her sidekicks, Danielle and Daniel. Maddie is well-prepared for camp, even having a dance number ready to show off to the crowd. Sage also meets Callie Banks.
Away from Camp Rock, former camp counsellors and members of band Connect 3 Nate, Jason, and Shane Gray are performing on a movie set. As the three mess up their take by bumping into each other, they are told to take a break by their manager Lark. Shane notices that Lark seems stressed by something and she tells him the opening act for their tour, Girl Vibe, is no longer available. This causes Nate and Jason to blame Shane for hiring such a flaky band – Girl Vibe just broke up – as it was Shane’s job to sort the opening act. They bicker about what to do next, although agree they know just the place to find a new act.
Back at Camp Rock, former camp chef and current camp director Connie Torres welcomes the new campers, saying how one summer here could change their lives. She then tells everyone that there is a phone ban during the whole of their time at Camp Rock and starts collecting all the campers’ phones. At this point, Connect 3 arrive – in three separate cars, because they aren’t getting along – with Lark. They say they are here to find a new opening act for their tour, stating, in between making digs at each other, that the campers will face three challenges, with only the very best getting the chance to perform a new, original song at Final Jam at the end of camp.
As the campers start to discuss this massive opportunity, not believing their luck that they chose to come to Camp Rock on the year there’s a huge competition that could make them famous, a sheriff arrives to drop off a new camper. This is Fletch, who meets Sage after literally bumping into her, and is taken by Connie to his cabin, which he is sharing with younger kids. The boys are both in awe and a little scared of Fletch, as they believe he’s come here straight from prison because he arrived in a police car. Fletch plays into the fear, saying if he wanted to hurt them, he’d wait until lights out. The next day though, he retrieves Cliff’s drumsticks from the roof of a cabin and now Cliff wants to be friends!
In Sage’s cabin, she overhears Rosie singing, and convinces her to compete in the competition. Rosie is from a family of classically trained musicians, who wouldn’t be involved in something so…. musically common. Rosie is meant to expect more from her music, with her background as a cellist making her more used to a supporting role instead of being front and centre. Sage convinces Rosie, and she goes to Connie to register for new classes.
At lunch, Sage and other campers start discussing the first challenge in the competition, which is to cover Connect 3’s biggest hit and make it their own. Sage desperately searches for a practice room, but finds they are all full. Maddie and her two backup dancers have commandeered one and won’t leave until they’ve each had their allotted thirty minutes, and Desi is in another one, not wanting to share or leave the room. Sage assumes Desi is not competing and therefore shouldn’t be allowed to use the practice room. They continue to argue about Sage choosing to attend Anthem music school over their band. Sage says she won’t let anyone ruin her chances of winning and leaves.
Then, it is time for Challenge #1 to take place. The campers perform a variety of different versions of the song “Play My Music”, including a synth version and an operatic version of the song. Some are definitely much better than others! After the challenge is over, Lark proceeds to cut people from the competition, only allowing some to proceed to the second challenge, leaving many campers crying and heartbroken. However, Sage is still in the competition, but also learns her brother Desi is too.
Later, there is a workshop event about songwriting that is unrelated to the competition. Connie introduces singer and former Camp Rocker Calvin Rhodes to take the class. Calvin has the campers interview another camper they don’t yet know. After having some time to talk, Calvin asks the pairs to stand up and tell everyone what they learnt. One of these pairs consists of Fletch and Sage. Fletch is chosen to tell everyone about Sage, having picked up on a lot of things about her personality. This has also inspired him to finish a song he’d been writing, going up on stage to perform it. Calvin is impressed. As the workshop is going on, Desi runs into dancer Callie, saying dancing is not his thing.
That night, Sage finds herself unable to talk about anything other than Fletch as she talks to Callie. Callie says she can tell Fletch has a crush on Sage, although she has heard rumours about Fletch’s bad boy status. Sage says it doesn’t matter anyway because Fletch is her competition. Sage decides to stay in and focus on the second challenge as Callie heads out to the campfire, as she wants to show Desi that she isn’t uptight and can be carefree. Callie tells Sage she’s thinking about it too much, and tells Sage to come out with her. Sage gets ready to go, stepping on a creaky floorboard. Lifting it up, she finds an old songbook belonging to Mitchie Torres, a former Camp Rock alum. At the campfire, Cliff hears about Rosie’s lack of self-confidence. He does his best to help her, before attempting to flirt with Rosie, telling her all girls love a project. Oh, Cliff, don’t see yourself short. Girls might like a project initially, but when it doesn’t go their way, they quickly move on.
The next day, Lark calls Connect 3, but the signal is bad. She finds out the three are talking although they still aren’t really “connecting”. She tells the boys that the second challenge is all about performance, and is told to find someone with the right attitude. As the campers wait around for the second challenge to start, Fletch approaches Desi as he is playing his guitar and asks to join in. Desi hears that Fletch is yet another serious musician, and jokes he is just like Sage. Desi knows that Fletch likes her, but says no more about it.
At the second challenge, Lark tells the campers that some people have been removed from the competition overnight as they had kept their phones. Lark reminds all the campers that it is important that nobody breaks this rule as they do not want any leaks or posts about the competition getting online. Callie gets up to lead the second challenge, a dance challenge. Lark says this challenge will end with the Final Five being chosen; they will be the last ones standing. The campers try their best to impress Lark, with Lark eliminating campers as the challenge goes on. Lark approaches Desi, seemingly wanting to eliminate him. To keep her brother in the competition, Sage pushes in front of him and shoves Maddie and her friends to the side. Desi is told by Sage to keep dancing, however, Maddie stops, as do Daniel and Danielle. Lark has no option but to eliminate them as they stopped dancing and a performance stops for no-one. This leaves the Final Five of Desi, Sage, Rosie, Cliff, and Fletch, although Lark tells Desi he got lucky and needs to work on his dancing if he wants to win. After the dance challenge, Desi asks Callie to go and talk alone. In the cafeteria, he asks Callie for some dance lessons to improve his dancing ability.
Lark then gets calls from the Connect 3 boys individually, all with their own problems. Lark tells them to figure it out themselves as she is busy organising a campfire. Before she goes, the boys tell Lark that going on tour requires more than just talent; the winner will need stamina and endurance, especially as they’ll be on tour for a while. This gets Lark thinking.
Later, Sage is joined by Fletch as she works on her song by the lake. She explains she’s having trouble with the lyrics, with Fletch simply saying she should have fun with it. Sage reminds Fletch that nothing is going to distract her from the competition, not even him. He asks about what happened between her and her brother, and she explains she wanted to take her music more seriously than her brother did. In response, she asks Fletch if he’s actually a bad boy. He explains he came straight to Camp Rock from court. His mother recently died and a judge is trying to figure out where he should live.
Maddie is still fuming after what happened at the dance challenge and has come up with the perfect revenge for the Final Five. She has got a message to all of them to say they need to meet up for a style consultation with Lark. As the Final Five arrive at the cabin, they do not find Lark, only Maddie, Daniel, and Danielle. Here, Maddie confronts them, and shows she was the one who set this meeting up. She gives each of the five campers critiques about their style, before showing that she has “customised” one of their belongings, basically ruining them with paint and arts and crafts materials. Rosie is furious to find they have bedazzled her cello. Maddie insults Rosie, upsetting Cliff who throws paste at Maddie. This starts a paint war between the two groups. Sage sees someone coming and tells the others to hide in a cupboard. Maddie doesn’t realise, and sees Callie walk into the cabin. She goes to throw paste at her, but Callie ducks, and Connie is hit instead. Oops.
Lark leads the Final Five away from the cabin, telling them that Maddie’s parents have committed to replacing all of their wrecked items instead of buying her car, but she tells the other five they shouldn’t have gotten involved, not liking this immature behaviour which could not happen on tour. She proceeds to take them to the third and final challenge. This challenge is taking place on the Camp Rock bus, where they must remain for 24 hours, without getting off. But don’t worry, there’s a porta-potty attached to the back of it, so they’ll have everything they’ll need to survive! However, Sage appears to have some porta-potty PTSD and worries how she’ll cope. Eventually, she can’t hold it any longer and has Cliff be her security guard. It all goes smoothly. However, the Final Five are unaware of the fact that Maddie, still determined to get revenge and have them disqualified, has stolen her phone back from Connie’s office and plans to record the challenge, to put it up online.
Inside the bus, the campers start to get bored and irritated with each other, with cabin fever setting in. Rosie starts to cry, as she desperately wants to win, so she doesn’t go back home and end up reverting back to her old ways, just being the cellist in the background. Cliff opens up, saying that he struggles to make friends because everyone thinks he’s too much. The other four chime in and say they are his friends now. Sage and Desi attempt to reconnect, by saying that Camp Rock has made Sage realise that she doesn’t have to be so uptight, and Desi admitting that he is feeling pressure to be great in this competition. Fletch says he has an uncertain future ahead of him, but that being at camp or on tour will mean he doesn’t have to worry so much. They all sing a song together to cement their bonding experience. As the others sleep later on, Sage and Fletch look at the stars from the top of the bus. Here, Fletch tells Sage that he has a phone, as he waits to hear where he is living next, admitting that he simply didn’t hand it in, not that it was allowed. Sage promises to keep his secret. Sage then tells Fletch he shouldn’t always sing with his eyes closed, not wanting him to lose any moment of connection with an audience, even if it is only brief.
The next morning, Lark tells them they’ve completed the challenge and can leave the bus, having until tomorrow night to get their songs ready for Final Jam. Back in the cafeteria, Sage continues working on her song, and Connie sees that she has Mitchie’s songbook. Connie tells Sage to keep it as it might just help her. After that, Sage sees Desi practising his dancing and the two once again start up their fight about their old band. They say they could always revive the band, and they reconcile.
However, the good feelings don’t last long as the Final Five are called into Connie’s office. Connie and Lark have become aware of a video circulating online of them singing on the bus, revealing the Camp Rock competition. She orders them to tell her which one has a phone, and must’ve put this video up. Sage fears being disqualified and tells Fletch to admit he has one. He has no option but to hand it in, but pleads his innocence, saying he did not film on the bus. The other four are told to leave. Desi tells Sage she chose the competition over Fletch. She hopes Fletch will eventually forgive her and she can make things right.
The following day, Connect 3 return to Camp Rock, ready for Final Jam. They see Lark overworked and stressed out, but clearly having had a good time at camp this summer. The guys have a look around, ending up at the lake, with Nate and Jason throwing Shane in!
At the cafeteria, Sage apologises to Fletch for what she did, but it’s all good; the video was traced back to Maddie and he’s allowed to compete at Final Jam. Well, of course it ended up being traced back to Maddie; how could Fletch have filmed the song from outside the bus? Anyway, this means Fletch and the others have some work to do ahead of Final Jam. They’re all nervous but they’re also ready.
On the night of Final Jam, the stage is set. As Connie does final checks, she sees daughter Mitchie hiding backstage, having taken a night off from her tour to come here. Connect 3 welcome everyone to Final Jam, with Lark introducing all the acts. First up, Cliff performs a hip-hop-style song, with some drum solos. Then, Rosie performs, singing and playing the cello. Third is Desi, with his new and improved dance moves, and fourth is Fletch, performing a guitar ballad and finally having the nerve to open his eyes as he sings.
The final performance is Sage. She stops her performance so she can say that she learnt all about friendship from her time at Camp Rock, and says a line about each of the other Final Five, and how good they are. Camp Rock should never have been all about winning a competition. She then proceeds to sing a new song, with the other four joining in with her. Desi and Fletch come in on guitar, whilst Rosie and Cliff play the cello and drums. The audience love the song, this being enough to make Maddie and her sidekicks leave!
Connect 3 then go to deliberate, where they see Mitchie. Mitchie says Final Jam was great and that Sage’s performance showed it’s not all about solo performances. Connect 3 don’t know who to pick, with Mitchie reminding them maybe they don’t have to pick just one.
Connect 3 return to the stage, announcing that they can’t pick just one of the Final Five, so instead choose them all as a group. Mitchie and Shane have a moment as the five celebrate, saying Camp Rock will always be magical, before saying they’ll be here same time next summer. Sage even gets a brief wave from Mitchie before she leaves. The five join Connect 3 for a final song to end Final Jam, signalling the end of the summer at Camp Rock.
CHARACTERS & CAST
Sage Scott arrives to Camp Rock very serious about her music, having decided to attend music school. This has led to a difficult relationship between her and her brother Desi as their differing attitudes to their music meant that their band split up. Desi still has not forgiven Sage and teases her about how uptight and highly strung she is, seemingly unable to ever go with the flow. Sage is incredibly determined to win the competition to be Connect 3’s next opening act. After spending time with the other members of the Final Five, particularly Fletch, who she has an instant connection with, she learns that friendship is more important than winning, and chooses to perform a new song she hadn’t done endless amount of preparation for, with her new friends joining her to create their own group. Sage ended up getting to win the competition whilst also repairing relationships with those around her.
Liamani Segura was cast as Sage in Camp Rock 3. Segura is not a newcomer to the world of Disney, as she had previously appeared in the recurring role of Emmy in the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (2019-23). She was also cast as Pink in another Disney Channel musical, Descendants: Wicked Wonderland (2026).
Fletch Robinson appears to be the camp’s bad boy as he arrives late to Camp Rock and in a police car. He is welcomed to Camp Rock like any other camper though, although he is assigned to a cabin for younger kids, who initially seem a bit scared of him. Fletch is a talented guitar player and singer, getting many chances to showcase this. He was even inspired by a conversation with Sage to perform a new song he’d written. Fletch is scared of connections with people, having a complicated living situation to sort out as he waits to see where he will live after his mother’s death. However, he slowly learns to open up to Sage and the Final Five about his background and they are understanding. His chance at getting a more stable future for himself, by becoming Connect 3’s opening act, almost ends up in jeopardy as Fletch keeps his phone, as phones have been banned for the entirety of their time at Camp Rock. Luckily, Connie sees reason and decides not to disqualify Fletch from the competition, having figured out he did not film or post anything from camp.
Fletch was played by Malachi Barton, who is also no stranger to life on Disney Channel. Early in his career, Barton was cast as Beast Diaz in the Disney Channel series Stuck in the Middle (2016-18), and voiced the character of Lionel in the animated Disney Junior series Fancy Nancy (2018-22). Barton went on to star as Marshall in the DCOMs Under Wraps (2021) and Under Wraps 2 (2022), as well as appear in the series The Villains of Valley View (2022-23) as Colby / Flashform. Barton went on to star as Victor in ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires (2025), a role he will reprise in its upcoming sequel ZOMBIES 5: Secrets of the Sea, set to premiere sometime in 2027. He will also soon be seen as Jake in the supernatural series Coven Academy for Disney, set to premiere in October 2026.
Rosie Kleinman is a classically trained cellist with very strict parents, who want Rosie to spend time focusing on her cello rather than her singing. At Camp Rock, Rosie doesn’t plan on competing to be Connect 3’s opening act, however, after Sage hears her sing, she encourages Rosie to join the competition. Rosie is initially very nervous about being front and centre for once, but she overcomes those nerves and gets to the Final Five.
Rosie was played by Lumi Pollack. Prior to Camp Rock 3, Pollack was cast as Amelia Cavell in the drama film The Fallout (2021) with Jenna Ortega. She went on to appear as Westyn/Wanessa in the animated Netflix series Dee & Friends in Oz (2024), and more recently, starred as Posey Parker in Disney Channel series Electric Bloom (2025).
Desi Scott is Sage’s brother, who is relaxed and chilled about his music, but is still just as talented as Sage despite not going to a fancy music school. Desi is struggling to forgive his sister for leaving him and their band in the dust for school, with the two butting heads over their different approaches to their music. Desi does not overprepare his performances and mostly tries to wing it through the camp competition. However, when he learns from Lark that his dancing ability is not as good as his competitors, he takes action to improve it by enlisting Callie to help him. It’s unclear at first whether Desi is in the competition just to annoy his sister or actually does want to win, but by the end of it, it’s obvious he feels he needs to actually step up and create a good performance instead of hoping for the best. By the end of their time at camp, he and Sage have also made up after the feud. It’s a good thing too otherwise their time on tour might not have lasted too long…
Hudson Stone was cast as Desi. Stone is lined up to be a cast member on the rebooted series of The Mickey Mouse Club. Production on the series seems to have only begun in July 2026 so there is no air date yet.
Cliff Carmichael is the joker of this group of five, being quite energetic and upbeat. Cliff always has his drumsticks in hand, feeling very passionately about his drumming. During his time at Camp Rock, Cliff becomes close to Desi, Sage, Fletch, and Rosie, with Rosie being the one he has a crush on, and he discovers that, although he was been on his own a lot as he is considered to be “too much”, he finds his people at Camp Rock.
Casey Trotter was cast as Cliff, and he is also going to be a cast member on the rebooted series of The Mickey Mouse Club alongside Hudson Stone.
Callie Banks is a dancer, not a singer, at Camp Rock and she does not enter the competition to be Connect 3’s opening act. She is basically Lark’s assistant throughout the competition, judging the first challenge about singing and then leading the group in the second challenge all about dancing. She is more mature than many of the campers. This means that Sage feels she can confide in Callie about her preparations for the competition, and her crush on Fletch. Meanwhile, Callie and Desi seem to have their own relationship blossoming in the background, growing closer as Callie is tasked with improving Desi’s dancing, something she clearly does a good job with as Connect 3 even notice how much Desi’s dancing has improved during Final Jam.
Brooklynn Pitts was cast as Callie, and she is yet another cast member on the rebooted series of The Mickey Mouse Club alongside Hudson Stone and Casey Trotter. She appeared in the recurring role of Aria in the series Mani (2017-23) prior to her role here.
The final campers at Camp Rock to mention are Maddie, Daniel, and Danielle. Maddie is an influencer and mean girl, who seems to have rich parents and an attitude that says she doesn’t care about anyone but herself. Maddie thinks she is definitely going to become Connect 3’s opening act, with Daniel and Danielle acting as her backup. However, after Sage knocks Maddie off balance during the second challenge, and Maddie and her sidekicks stop dancing, she is eliminated from the competition by Lark. She is furious and tries to get her own back on them, first by destroying some of their most treasured possessions, and secondly by filming them during their bus challenge and posting it online, breaking the rule about keeping the competition secret from the outside world. This shows that Maddie and her sidekicks aren’t very smart since the video they shot would’ve quite clearly shown it was filmed outside the bus and not inside it, so Fletch couldn’t have done it. Connie and Lark also traced it back to Maddie’s account. By the end of Camp Rock, Maddie is left to sit in the audience for Final Jam and eventually leaves out of jealousy.
Ava Jean was cast as Maddie, having previously appeared as Savannah in the series A Week Away (2025), which was a spin-off of the Netflix film of the same name. Orlando Lucas was cast as Daniel, having previously played Dawson in the television movie Big Sky River (2022) and its 2023 sequel. Danielle was played by Orlando’s sister Ella Lucas, who appeared as Isabelle in the movie Re: Uniting (2023) prior to Camp Rock 3.
The last main character in Camp Rock 3 to mention is Connect 3’s overworked, probably underpaid, harassed tour manager Lark. Although it is Shane’s fault that their original opening act for their tour fell through, Lark is stuck with finding a new one, as Connect 3 do not spend time at Camp Rock going through the challenges, instead leaving Lark to oversee and organise all of them. She doesn’t really want to be there, so she is quite harsh and strict with her critiques of the campers, mostly just trying to get through the summer! In the end though, she ends up liking Camp Rock and completes her work requirements by getting Connect 3 their opening act. I didn’t love many of the characters in Camp Rock 3, but I did like Lark. Her sarcasm and lack of enthusiasm was quite funny.
Sherry Cola was cast as Lark. Prior to Camp Rock 3, Cola voiced the character of Helen in Pixar’s Turning Red (2022), later going on to play Stella in the Netflix film A Family Affair (2024), which starred Zac Efron, Joey King and Nicole Kidman. Also on Netflix, Cola currently plays the recurring role of Ashley in their series Nobody Wants This (2024-present) alongside Kristen Bell. Cola had also previously been cast as Alice Kwan in the Freeform series Good Trouble (2019-24). She also appeared as Maya in Season 3 of Apple TV series Shrinking (2023-present). Cola is set to play Yzma in the new Descendants movie for Disney, Descendants: Hidden Heroes. A release date is currently unknown.
Alongside the new cast, there were a few other characters from the original Camp Rock films who reprised their roles in Camp Rock 3. One of these was Connie Torres. After being the camp chef in both Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, she has now taken over as camp director from Brown Cesario, who does not appear in Camp Rock 3. Connie is a kind leader, giving advice to the campers, wanting them to have a great experience at Camp Rock. However, Connie is not afraid to put her foot down sometimes, as we see when she demands to know who has a contraband phone after footage of the competition ends up online. But Connie is also fair, allowing Fletch to compete in Final Jam, realising he did not post that video. Maria Canals-Barrera returned to play this character.
The Jonas Brothers also returned to play Connect 3 members Shane, Jason, and Nate Gray from the first two films. They, however, do not appear that much in Camp Rock 3, showing up at the start, where they seem to be filming a movie, before heading to Camp Rock to let the campers know they need an opening act. But then they leave the competition in Lark’s capable hands. Lark gets a few calls from them, where they mostly just get a quick update on the competition or use the call as an opportunity to criticise one another. They might have grown up, but Connect 3 still struggle to “connect”. But time away from Camp Rock 3 seems to have done wonders for them as they return reunited to judge Final Jam and pick their winner. Well, I hope so anyway, otherwise that opening act might not be opening up for them for long. I wouldn’t be surprised if that tour never happened…
Another cameo appearance was from Demi Lovato as Mitchie Torres. Having previously been one of the most talented and determined campers at Camp Rock, it is not much of a surprise to hear she is a famous singer, who takes one night off from tour to attend Camp Rock’s Final Jam. She doesn’t want to make everything about her though, so she watches from backstage, taking in all the talent of the new campers. She later proves to have some very useful advice for Connect 3 who struggle to choose one of the Final Five to have as their opening act. It is Mitchie’s idea to have the five perform as a group. After commenting with Shane over how great it’s been to be at Camp Rock again, she seems to commit to coming back next summer, but perhaps only briefly.
A final cameo appearance came from former Disney Channel star Milo Manheim. Manheim is well-known for his role as Zed in the Disney Channel musical franchise ZOMBIES, and he is currently filming the live-action Tangled film, where he will star as Flynn Rider. Tangled is set for release in March 2028. In Camp Rock 3, Manheim appeared for all of five minutes as former Camp Rock alum and big-time singer Calvin Rhodes, taking the campers through a songwriting workshop.
MUSIC
Camp Rock 3 features a mixture of covers of songs from Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, as well as a selection of new original songs. The soundtrack for Camp Rock 3 was released on 13th August 2026, the day of its Disney Channel premiere, with a vinyl LP also being made available to purchase.
The soundtrack for Camp Rock 3 contains a long list of songs, so let’s break it down by starting with the new music. The first new song we hear we don’t even get in full. This is the song “Come On Over”, which Connect 3 are performing apparently on a movie set. Their performance comes to an abrupt halt after Nate and Jason knock into each other on stage, and “Cut” is called. The full song is available on the soundtrack, however, after hearing all of it, I actually think the small amount of the chorus we get in Camp Rock 3 is the best part of it. “Come On Over” was written by Antonina Armato, Tim James Price, and Thomas Armato Sturges, and was performed by the Jonas Brothers as Connect 3.
Following that, back at Camp Rock, after finding out about the competition to be Connect 3’s opening act, Sage starts thinking about what a great opportunity this would be for her. She encourages all the other campers to join her in the excitement, by singing the song “One Beat Away” all across Camp Rock. This song was the first single to be released from the soundtrack, in July 2026, so a month before the movie’s premiere. It is a high-energy opener for the film. “One Beat Away” was performed predominately by Liamani Segura as Sage, with backup from the rest of the Camp Rock 3 cast. It was written by Matthew Tishler and Shridhar Solanki.
After this, there is a large portion of Camp Rock 3 that only uses covers of songs from Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, which I will get to later. The next complete original song we hear doesn’t come until the third challenge of the competition, where Lark challenges the Final Five of Sage, Fletch, Desi, Rosie, and Cliff to stay on the camp bus for 24 hours without stepping off it. The five perform an impromptu song after having a bonding chat about their feelings and their backstories, and this song is “Echo”, showcasing the five’s friendship and their shared love of music. “Echo” was therefore performed by Liamani Segura, Malachi Barton, Lumi Pollack, Hudson Stone, and Casey Trotter. It was written Alex Geringas, Polly Josephine Geringas, and Alexandra Grace Saad.
The song that comes after this is “Rhythm’s Only Right”, taking place as Sage and Desi make up after their sibling feud over the break up of their band. They accept their differences and apologise for not communicating properly, deciding they might even be able to start the band up again. “Rhythm’s Only Right” was performed by Liamani Segura and Hudson Stone, and was written by Matthew Tishler and Grayson DeWolfe.
After that, we get five songs in quick succession as Cliff, Rosie, Desi, Fletch, and Sage perform their own songs for Final Jam, and the final part of the competition, where Connect 3 will choose their opening act. Each song showcases that character’s own style.
Cliff gets up on stage first, performing a hip-hop-style song, complete with rap sections and drum solos, since he is a drummer after all. His song is titled “My Own Drum”. The song was performed by Casey Trotter and written by Jaheem King Toombs.
Rosie follows Cliff, starting off her song by playing the cello. She then leaves her cello to the side, taking centre stage to launch into a strong, powerful song, showing how far she’s come since arriving at camp as a shy cellist. This song is “Play It My Way”, performed by Lumi Pollack and written by Aaron C. Harmon.
Then, we get Desi’s song “Get Ready”. Desi shows off his singing talent, as well as his newly improved dance skills, courtesy of lessons from Callie, even bringing her up on stage to dance. Again, this song proves that Desi has been on a journey whilst at Camp Rock, accepting that he can put on a spectacle. “Get Ready” was performed by Hudson Stone and written by William “Will Jay” Behlendorf, Jason Mate and Brandon C. Rogers.
The fourth song of Final Jam is Fletch’s ballad, singing and playing the guitar. This is actually a more polished version of the song “Tomorrow” that he was inspired to finish after doing the songwriting workshop with Calvin Rhodes and talking to Sage. The earlier, shortened version of this song is listed as “Tomorrow (Acoustic)” on the official soundtrack, whereas “Tomorrow” is the full version, complete with backup musicians. I actually decided this song wasn’t so bad in the end, and is definitely one of the better ones in Camp Rock 3. “Tomorrow” was performed by Malachi Barton, written by Josh Cumbee and Jordan Powers.
The final song of Final Jam is for Sage. She has a song prepared, but decides to go with something different after learning that her time at Camp Rock shouldn’t have been about the competition, and was about meeting like-minded people who love music, just like her. Sage then starts singing the song “Work In Progress”, with each of the other four joining Sage on stage. Cliff gets on the drums, Rosie plays her cello, whilst Fletch and Desi join in with their guitars. As I was watching Camp Rock 3 for the first time, this was the only song that I thought was alright. It was performed by Liamani Segura, and was written by Antonina Armato, Tim James Price, and Thomas Armato Sturges.
Four songs from Camp Rock and two songs from Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam were re-recorded by the cast of Camp Rock 3, with five of them appearing in the film, and one other only being on the soundtrack. The first one we hear is “Brand New Day”, originally the opening song from Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. This song is also used for the opening sequence of Camp Rock 3, accompanying the arrival of all the campers, but is only heard in the background briefly, and was not performed by the movie’s characters as it was in the sequel. It was recorded by Liamani Segura.
For the first challenge in the competition to be Connect 3’s opening act, the campers are asked to cover a well-known Connect 3 song. This happens to be “Play My Music” from the first movie, where the band accept the opportunity to perform in front of the campers, to inspire them in time for Final Jam. In Camp Rock 3, each camper competing for the chance to be Connect 3’s opening act is told to perform “Play My Music”, but make it their own, so there are many weird and interesting takes on this song here. It is also performed again in the End Credits by the main cast of Camp Rock 3.
The second challenge, the dance challenge, involves a re-recording of “Start the Party”. Camp Rock fans will recognise this song from the dance scene in the first film. It is part of Shane Gray’s first class with the campers, teaching them how to dance and how to perform like a rockstar. The whole cast of Camp Rock 3 perform this song.
“It’s On”, the famous battle song from Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, where Camp Rock campers challenge those from Camp Star to the ultimate singing battle, is used in the background as the Final Five and Maddie and her gang have a paint battle in the arts and crafts room. This cover is credited to Lumi Pollack, Hudson Stone, and Ava Jean.
The final song in Final Jam, signalling the end of the first Camp Rock film was “We Rock”. “We Rock” is once again used for the same purpose, being performed by Connect 3 and the Final Five to end the Final Jam here and Camp Rock 3 as a whole. It is performed by Connect 3 and the Final Five. I’ve always liked this song – but I was disappointed to find the choreography had changed. So much for all that practice watching the Camp Rock: Dance-Along on Disney Channel all those years ago…
The last song taken from a previous Camp Rock film for the Camp Rock 3 soundtrack was “What It Takes”, originally performed by the character Lola in Camp Rock. Here, it is performed by Brooklyn Pitts. Video online has shown Pitts performing full choreography to this song, making it seem like this song was recorded for a specific scene, but was cut for unknown reasons, which is a shame, as Callie didn’t get much screen time in Camp Rock 3. It would’ve been nice for her to get a chance to shine.
“Fire” from Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam is also heard briefly here. This is the song that Maddie, Daniel, and Danielle dance to in order to really show everyone at Camp Rock who they are. This song is not on the soundtrack, and it is only an instrumental.
Despite all the effort going into this soundtrack to try and please both older viewers and newer viewers with the mixture of new and old music, the Camp Rock 3 soundtrack did not outdo its predecessors. Camp Rock 3 debuted at No. 9 on the US Billboard Soundtrack Albums chart, which is respectable enough, however, it does not match the performance of either Camp Rock or Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, which both reached No. 1 in this same chart. Those two soundtracks also peaked at No. 3 on the US Billboard 200 chart, whereas Camp Rock 3 has missed out on this chart entirely[1].
Tom Howe was the composer for Camp Rock 3, having previously worked with Disney Channel on the music for Upside-Down Magic (2020) and ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires. Outside of that, Howe was the composer on the popular Apple TV series Ted Lasso (2020-present) and Shrinking. He has also collaborated with Aardman Animations on the music for a couple of their movies, including A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon (2019), and Early Man (2018) with Harry Gregson-Williams. Howe is also reportedly the one behind the theme music for The Great British Bake-Off (2010-present). An excerpt of Howe’s score is included as a track on the official Camp Rock 3 soundtrack.
PRODUCTION
As the years stretched on after Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam arrived on Disney Channel in the summer of 2010, many fans had given up hope of there ever being a third film.
They’d grown up and moved away from the channel, as had all the stars of the first two films. Some of those stars had also come out to say that their experience of working on those films, and with Disney Channel generally, had not been a great time in their lives, struggling to process their time as child or teenage actors. It just didn’t make sense to make a third one, and most people had forgotten all about it, because, although we seem to forget in these days of endless sequels and reboots, some franchises do actually come to an end.
However, all of sudden, rumours started swirling about a Camp Rock 3. I mostly ignored them, thinking it was just wishful thinking from fans, like all those ones doing fancasts for new Disney live-action remakes. It’s not possible for all of them to happen. The rumours partially began in August 2025 because of a Hot Ones Versus video filmed with the Jonas Brothers that was released on 12th August. In this video, Joe was tasked with reading the most recent entry on his phone’s Notes app and it said “Read Camp Rock 3”[2]. This might not have seemed like much on its own – it could’ve simply been a joke – but this video followed a surprise appearance by Demi Lovato at MetLife Stadium with the Jonas Brothers as part of their Greetings From Your Hometown tour. Here, Lovato performed “This Is Me”, following on from Joe’s performance of “Gotta Find You”. They then finished up with their duet “Wouldn’t Change a Thing” from Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. Fans were ecstatic to see Demi Lovato reunited with the Jonas Brothers, and this fuelled the rumours of a Camp Rock 3[3]. I still ignored the suggestion that Camp Rock 3 was happening.
I was later proven wrong, as an official confirmation of Camp Rock 3 was announced in September 2025, with filming beginning in Canada that same week. It was confirmed that the story was going to revolve around Connect 3 looking for campers to be their new opening act for a major reunion tour. It was confirmed that the Jonas Brothers would be returning as the members of Connect 3, Shane, Nate, and Jason, and that Maria Canals-Barrera would be the only other original cast member returning for this third movie, as Connie Torres, Mitchie’s mother. Demi Lovato was only listed as an executive producer, alongside the Jonas Brothers, although at the time, I was convinced she’d end up having a small cameo in the film – this time, I turned out to be right. A list of new cast members was also announced for Camp Rock 3, including Malachi Barton and Liamani Segura, both from other successful Disney Channel musical franchises[4]. Even with the promise of the Jonas Brothers returning, I was not excited or interested in Camp Rock 3 when it was announced. Luckily for fans of any franchise, my disinterest at newly announced films does not stop them being made. After this announcement, Camp Rock 3 immediately entered production.
Filming on Camp Rock 3 seems to have taken place from September 2025 until early November 2025. The cast and crew did not return to the original Camp Rock locations in Ontario, Canada, instead moving to British Columbia. Specifically, filming took place at Barnet Marine Park in Burnaby, where eagle-eyed watchers could see sets like cabins and stages being set up. The Jonas Brothers were also spotted in and around the area[5].
As with all Disney Channel musicals, plenty of dance experience is required for these films, and in this case, Jamal Sims was selected as the lead choreographer on Camp Rock 3. In film, Sims worked on choreography for movies like Step Up (2006), Hairspray (2007), and even Disney’s live-action film Aladdin (2019). He also worked with Miley Cyrus on the choreography for “Hoedown Throwdown” from Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009), as well as directing and choreographing her Wonder World Tour in 2009. Sims later played Dr. Facilier in Descendants 3 (2019), alongside being a choreographer on the movie. Sims regularly appears on RuPaul’s Drag Race (2009-present) as a choreographer and judge.
Along with learning the dances for Camp Rock 3, Malachi Barton also had to learn how to play the guitar for this film, prepping for his role as Fletch whilst on the Descendants/ZOMBIES Worlds Collide Concert Tour in 2025, ready to start filming just as the tour ended. Liamani Segura was a surprise guest towards the end of this tour as well, due to her role as Pink in Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, which was coming the following year. Segura and Barton already knew each other even before this meeting though, as they previously met simply due to them both working at Disney for years, but they also read together for ZOMBIES 4: Dawn of the Vampires, as Segura was screen tested for the role of Nova, which ended up going to Freya Skye[6].
Camp Rock 3 was directed by Veronica Rodriguez, who already had some history of working with Disney Channel, having written and directed some episodes of the Disney Channel series Gabby Duran & The Unsittables (2019-21), before going on to direct the Disney Channel movie The Slumber Party (2023).
The screenplay was written by Eydie Faye, who had also written the screenplay for Disney Channel’s The Slumber Party. Faye had previously written the musical drama film The J Team (2021), which starred JoJo Siwa, for Paramount+. After Camp Rock 3, Faye is continuing to work with Disney Channel, by co-writing ZOMBIES 5: Secrets of the Sea, as well as working on the Descendants: Hidden Heroes movie. Faye must’ve been inspired by the first two films, as can be seen from the endless references and nods to the original Camp Rock films, as well as the return of some original characters, with these being created by Karin Gist, Regina Hicks, Julie Brown, and Paul Brown.
RECEPTION
Disney held a red carpet premiere to celebrate the upcoming release of Camp Rock 3 on 10th August 2026, reportedly at the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank, California. It was attended by the cast of Camp Rock 3, as well as other current and former Disney stars, such as Roshon Fegan, who played Sander in the original two Camp Rock films, and Dara Renée, who played Uliana in the recent DCOM Descendants: The Rise of Red (2024).
Camp Rock 3 then premiered on Disney Channel in the US on 13th August, followed by its release onto Disney’s streaming platform Disney+ the day after, on 14th August 2026. This appears to be the standard release schedule for Disney Channel Original Movies now.
Its Disney Channel premiere was apparently watched by less than 0.2 million viewers. However, although these viewing figures used to be the best indicator of how well a DCOM had performed, that is no longer the case. For example, Camp Rock, which was viewed by 8.9 million viewers on its premiere in 2008, making it the third most-watched DCOM premiere of all time, with Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam in 7th position with a reported 7.9 million viewers. Figures like these have not been reached in a very long time, as viewership of new DCOM releases has been steadily declining ever since the 2010s. Now that audiences have Disney+, naturally, less viewers are choosing to watch the newest DCOMs on Disney Channel, because why should you bother paying for both services? How the film does on Disney+ is more of a useful indicator of DCOM performance nowadays. Camp Rock 3 was the No. 1 movie on Disney+ in 66 territories during its debut week[7].
Although building up hype for a third Camp Rock film after sixteen years of waiting was easy, managing to draw in viewers even from the older generation who had grown up with the original films, it was not enough to satisfy the viewers, who, on the whole, were left disappointed by this new movie. Critics actually seemed to have nicer things to say than the audience did, which is really quite rare for a Disney Channel movie.
On the positive side, some said Camp Rock 3 was pretty good, just not amazing. They enjoyed the cameos, like Demi Lovato’s surprise appearance and the scenes with the Jonas Brothers, as well as liking the references to the first two films. I actually found the cameo with Lovato quite awkward, and felt that both her and the Jonas Brothers had trouble connecting to their original characters; I didn’t feel like I was watching Mitchie, or Shane Gray, or whoever, so their scenes just felt a little odd. But I do understand they have grown up now and have become very different people since their time at Disney. Some liked the new music, and felt that tour manager Lark was a funny addition to the cast.
However, on the other side of things, some stated that they would’ve preferred to have seen the old cast return as camp counsellors. I’d agree with this, despite the fact this was already a key part of Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, because I didn’t feel like the original characters had much purpose in Camp Rock 3. It arguably would’ve been better to have rebooted the Camp Rock franchise without any appearances by the original cast, especially since it was felt Camp Rock 3 was falsely advertised with the Jonas Brothers, who were barely even in this film. The fact their appearance was pushed so much in advertising suggested to me they were going to be main characters here, not just popping up randomly for not much reason at all. Others, like me, also disliked how much recycling and reusing of elements from the first two Camp Rock films existed in Camp Rock 3. Lines like “Grab a mic and a hat; follow me if you can” and “Whatever, Major Loser”, as well as the return of the heavily mocked “Camp Rock Stomp” that Mitchie led on the way to challenge Camp Star in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, were clearly meant to be funny for those who had watched the original films. I didn’t find them funny or feel like they were needed.
The re-recording of music from the first two movies also just felt lazy to me, and the new original songs were not particularly memorable in my opinion. Some of them I decided weren’t that bad after hearing them a few times, but still don’t compare to the music of other more recent Disney Channel musicals, and definitely not the older ones. The pacing of the film was also criticised, feeling that parts of it were rushed and that the story felt too episodic, with the campers just moving from challenge to challenge. Characters were also not developed well. I liked Lark as a new character though, because her sarcasm and lack of enthusiasm about being at Camp Rock matched how I was feeling whilst watching Camp Rock 3 and I thought that Sage and Fletch were fine as characters, but the other three in the Final Five barely got any backstory and I found it hard to care about them. Maddie was also a terribly written character, as she had no redeeming qualities. She was obviously meant to be similar to mean girl Tess from the original films, but Tess at least had a sad backstory about how her parents were too busy to care about her and that’s why she craved attention. Maddie was just mean, jealous, and vindictive, with little else in the way of personality.
As Camp Rock 3 has only just been released, there is no information yet on how it might perform at certain award ceremonies. Given that Disney+ tend to do very well at the Children’s and Family Emmy Awards, it is possible that Camp Rock 3 may receive a nomination or two here. It may also be recognised at the Kids’ Choice Awards potentially.
LEGACY
In the build up to the release of Camp Rock 3 over the summer, some of the cast were spotted at the Disney Parks to promote other summer events in 2026.
Demi Lovato, alongside the younger cast members, was spotted at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, specifically at the Magic Kingdom, to promote their Cool Kids’ Summer, because Camp Rock 3 was being tied in with that event. The group went on the newly refurbished Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, with a video later being posted on the Camp Rock Instagram page showing highlights of their ride, set to the song “Brand New Day”. Other videos of them at the park were also later released.
Another reference to Camp Rock 3 at the Disney Parks over Summer 2026 was the DescenDANCE Party x Camp Rock Jam, which had been performed at the Disney Springs Waterside Stage on select nights at the Walt Disney World Resort, as part of Cool Kids’ Summer, to promote and celebrate the release of their two newest DCOM musicals, featuring music from both franchises. It began in late May 2026, running until early September 2026. A promotional display area was also constructed for the Disneyland Hotel at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, with areas for photo opportunities. Some fun activities for hotel guests have also been put on.
The D23 Expo was also taking place on the same weekend that Camp Rock 3 made its debut, from 14th to 16th August 2026, so it’s only right that the cast would come to the convention as well in order to promote Camp Rock 3 further. In this case, the performance was presented by the Jonas Brothers, who then cleared the stage so the main cast could perform their version of “We Rock” from Camp Rock – probably to please all the millennials in the audience – as well as the original song “One Beat Away”.
A bus tour, titled All Roads Lead to Camp, to promote Camp Rock 3 also launched earlier in the summer, starting on 3rd July 2026 in Nashville, Tennessee, travelling to various cities around the US over July and into August, with the tour ending at the D23 Expo in Anaheim on 14th August 2026, with this being the film’s Disney+ premiere date too. How coincidental! The bus had a Camp Rock-themed mural painted on it, alongside the movie’s release dates. The bus had item giveaways and photo opportunities for anyone there. It was even blasting music from the series for people to sing along with[8].
There is also set to be a new short-form series premiering on Disney+ and Disney Channel in September 2026, which is a continuation of Disney’s Locker Diaries series. Yep, just like Descendants and ZOMBIES before it, Camp Rock 3 stars will be appearing in new episodes of this series, titled Locker Diaries: Camp Rock.
A further project related to Camp Rock 3 has yet to take place and that is the Descendants/ZOMBIES/Camp Rock: Worlds Collide Concert Tour, following on from the successful Descendants/ZOMBIES Worlds Collide Concert Tour over Summer 2025. From Camp Rock 3, the cast members going on the tour are Hudson Stone, who played Desi; Liamani Segura, who played Sage; and Malachi Barton, who played Fletch. The American leg of the tour kicks off on 25th September 2026 in Palm Desert, California, running until 13th December 2026 with its final performance in Mexico City. The tour will then move over to Europe, beginning with a performance on 6th February 2027 in Dublin, Republic of Ireland, and ending on 24th February in Madrid, Spain. Other cities the tour group will be heading to include Paris, London, Glasgow, and Manchester. Based on the previous tour, fans can expect to hear music from both the older and new movies of each franchise.
Finally, although a fourth Camp Rock film has not yet been announced, some of the cast have said they’d be happy to continue with the franchise by making a new film. Given the fact that Disney Channel seems to be quite comfortable focusing on the same few musical franchises, I’d say a Camp Rock 4 is probably quite likely, whether it is needed or not. Descendants is heading towards six films, and ZOMBIES is about to hit five after all.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Although I have called myself a “Disney purist”, I like to think that I am actually more open-minded than most “Disney purists”.
I have given every new Disney Channel Original Movie a chance, even if I am not interested in them. There have been some newer films that continue Disney Channel musical franchises that I have really liked, and others that I only found moments that I did. And that’s fine, because I’m not the target audience, even though by going back to these older films, Disney seems to think they are targeting millennials, forgetting that millennials require much more from their movies than tweens and teens do.
I will be unlikely to ever revisit Camp Rock 3, because if I want nostalgia for Camp Rock, I will simply put the original films on. This film has made me even more concerned about how the fourth Cheetah Girls movie might end up, but really, it’s all good, because as long as Disney Channel’s younger audience enjoy them, and their new stars get a chance on the small screen, then Disney did their job.
To all the adults that watched Camp Rock 3, give it time for the anger and disappointment to ebb. Remember: these new versions of beloved DCOMs are not actually yours. They weren’t meant for you, or made for you. Just keep that in mind the next time you go to watch a new Disney Channel movie; it might make you look at them a little differently.
