About Surviving The Midnight Hurl At Camp Whurl

Four days into church camp, Buzz McNeil is finally settling in…
until kids start puking like extras in a zombie movie.

It’s fast. It’s gross. And it’s spreading.

Everyone calls it a stomach bug. Buzz isn’t so sure. Not when the new lunch lady never blinks.
Not when she smiles as things get worse. And definitely not when the mystery meat seems to stare back.

Teaming up with a sarcastic sci-fi nerd, a perfectionist rule-follower, and a gadget genius, Buzz starts digging into Camp Whurl’s secrets: hidden cameras, locked doors, and trackers disguised as wristbands.

But when chaos erupts in a night campers will never forget, Buzz realizes the truth:

They’re not just trying to survive camp.
They’re part of the experiment.
