Camp Unplug was a series of thirty-six Vines which follow thirteen Viners who grudgingly attend a "digital detox camp", filmed at Camp Wandawega. Described as Vine's "first long-form original series", Camp Unplug was released on June 23, 2016, during VidCon, after the six-second limit on Vines was lifted. It was soon looped over 41 million times the following week. It was twenty-two minutes in length. Camp Unplug was written by Viners Aaron Chewning and Chris Melberger, and produced by Jeremy Cabalona and Karyn Spencer. The series was where future collaborators Drew Gooden and Danny Gonzalez first met.
Camp Unplug received three nominations at the 6th Streamy Awards and was a finalist for Web Series at the 9th Shorty Awards.

Danny and I actually met at VidCon several years ago. We had been in a short film sort of, that Vine put together called "Camp Unplug". We went to this camp in Winconsin, Camp Wandawega. We shot there for a few days.
Gooden and Gonzalez met on "Camp Unplug," a long-form series created by Vine, starring Viners, of which they were both part.
