Camp Candy was a 1989-1990 animated television series produced by DiC Entertainment, with comedian John Candy providing the voice for an animated version of himself.
The show was set in a fictional summer camp run by Candy. It also featured his children, Jennifer and Christopher Candy, in supporting roles.
The animated series spawned a brief comic book series based on the show; also entitled Camp Candy, it was published by Marvel Comics' Star Comics imprint.
Nineteen episodes of the series aired during the 1989 and 1990 television seasons on the NBC television network. Repeats ran in syndication, and on the Fox Family cable channel in 1998.
Harry Nilsson wrote the series' theme song, which Candy sang.
The later syndicated rebroadcast featured live action segments featuring Candy.
In both versions, the closing credits featured songs about the Camp that were sung to the tune of various traditional "campfire" songs.
Almost all episodes would begin where John Candy would be trying to show an outdoor skill to some kids, to which he would then say it reminded him of a story, where he would tell of the episode in narration.
John was a dedicated leader of a summer camp that is presumably built by him, and he tries to get various kids to get along.

The flea bites,
The bee bites,
The bark of tree bites.
The quietness of darkness.
The stories told by firelight.
The long nights.
The food ...
