20 Celebrities That Went To Camp

Yes, you heard us, even Hollywood’s latest and greatest went to sleepaway camp! They slept in bunk beds, ran in apache relays, and probably made out with someone behind the canteen… stars, they’re just like us!

1. Hank Azaria: Camp Towanda, PA

Before he perfected his voice for The Simpsons (and, more importantly, was David, Phoebe's geeky-scientist boyfriend on Friends), Hank Azaria attended this well-known, 8-week, co-ed sleepaway camp.

2. Larry David: All-American Camp, NY

We can't really imagine Larry David as anyone but a cranky, brutally-honest, old, Jewish man, but we are prett-ay prett-ay sure he was a (hopefully) happy, brutally-honest, old-at-heart Jewish man while at camp.

3. Patrick Dempsey: Camp Wekeela, ME

Young Dr. McDreamy in a cabin in Maine. This just makes sense.

4. Jonah Hill: Indian Head Camp, PA

He is thankfully not a camp love-child, but his parents did meet at Indian Head, so of course he had to go there too!

5. Natalie Portman and… Robert Downey Jr., Lea Michele, Skylar Astin, Zach Braff, Mandy Moore, Bryce Dallas Howard: Stagedoor Manor, NY

Where all the cool kids went. Apparently, going to camp gives you much higher chances of becoming an A-list celeb. Where do we sign up?

6. Zooey Deschanel, Jon Favreau, and Adam Levine: French Woods, NY

Perhaps for the more low-key celeb campers out there, but definitely not any less A-list.

7. The Coen Brothers, Bob Dylan: Camp Herzl, WI

So is this the indie version of sleepaway camp?

8. Clive Davis: Camp Equinuk, PA

Music + camp = perfection.

9. Meg Wolitzer: Indian Hill Summer Arts Camp, MA

Her New York Times best-selling novel, The Interestings, is based on a group of life-long friends that went to sleepaway camp together in the 70s. Besides the pot and the alcohol, camp is basically the same today as it was then... basically.

10. Ralph Lauren: Camp Massad, PA

Ralph Lauren, formerly known as Ralph Lifshitz, told Oprah that one of the "highlights of his life" was being named Color War General at camp.

11. Wolf Blitzer: Camp Ramah

This CNN personality goes way back in the camp world, and is a big supporter of Summer 365!

12. Seth Rogen: Camp Miriam, British Columbia

Canadians go to sleepaway camp too! (insert Seth Rogen chuckle here.)

13. Sheryl Sandberg: URJ Coleman, GA

Definitely Color War Captain material... she totally won tug o' war with the "lean in" method.

14. Mark Zuckerberg: Island Lake Camp, PA

We pegged him as more of a computer camp kid, but guess his social awareness had to start somewhere.

15. Mark Cuban: Emma Kaufmann Camp, WV

Via summercampculture.com

We heard a rumor that he tried to buy his own rope-burn team...

16. Denzel Washington: YMCA Camp Sloane, CT

Being an action hero isn't easy, but being a camp counselor, now that's hard work.

17. Harrison Ford: Camp Napowan, WI

Via summercampculture.com

Han Solo leading a group of kids around camp just feels right.

18. Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal: Walt Whitman, NH

Going to camp with your older sister was totally worth it, if it meant getting unrestricted access to girls' side.

19. Julia and Emma Roberts: Camp Birchwood, MN

Via summercampculture.com

It's a camp family affair! Clearly these ladies learned how to keep it down-to-earth during their summers at camp.

20. Halston Sage: Camp Laurel South, ME

Living in a bunk with 12 girls, Halston learned how to deal with her Neighbors.

21. Adam Sandler: URJ Eisner Camp, MA

You ain't cool unless you went to camp... and maybe peed your pants. Adam clearly picked up lots of material during his experiences over the summer.

22. BONUS: Seth Cohen from The O.C.

Seth claims he was the All-Camp Capture the Flag Champion at Camp Takajo. It was there that he also learned his infamous stealth skills.
