Disney Channel is heading back to camp.

Production is currently underway on a “relaunch” of the classic reality series Bug Juice, which originally ran from 1998 to 2001 on the mousy network, TVLine has learned. Each of Bug Juice‘s original three seasons was filmed at a different summer camp, with the campers’ lives taking center stage.

The new series, slated to premiere in early 2018, will be set at Camp Waziyatah in Waterford, Maine — the original site from the first season of Bug Juice.

The updated series is being described as a “contemporary new installment,” which will “capture the authentic adventures of a group of kids age 10-12 as they head head to summer camp, join in exciting and challenging outdoor activities, establish tight bonds with bunkmates and create unforgettable memories.”
