The network has greenlighted production on a half-hour pilot from Peter Barsocchini, writer of the "High School Musical" movies.

"Our slogan is, 'Camp is why kids invented summer.' " Production on the pilot is slated to begin in Malibu this month. "Summer camp is an American tradition, and Peter has captured this rite of passage in a fun family comedy that's perfect for Nickelodeon," said Reveille executive producer of scripted programs Carolyn Bernstein, who is exec producing the pilot with Barsocchini; Frank Saperstein and John Morayniss of E1 Entertainment; Todd Cohen of Reveille; and Laurence Mark of Laurence Mark Prods.
