Plot
Set against the timeline of the blockbuster film Jurassic World, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous follows a group of six teenagers trapped at a new adventure camp on the opposite side of Isla Nublar. When the events of the film unfold and dinosaurs are unleashed across the island, each kid realizes their very survival rests on the shoulders of themselves and their fellow campers. Unable to reach the outside world, our six teens will go from strangers to friends to family as they band together to survive the dinosaurs and uncover hidden secrets so deep they threaten the world itself.
The first season follows teenagers Darius Bowman, Brooklynn, Sammy Gutierrez, Yasmina Fadoula, Ben Pincus and Kenji Kon who are chosen to attend Camp Cretaceous, Jurassic World's brand new adventure park. Things start to go astray from the very first night after Darius and Kenji fall into the Raptor Paddock, then accidentally venture into the Carnotaurus Paddock the next day. After a storm results in a stampede and the near death of Darius and Brooklynn in a Gyrosphere, the counsellors attempt to consult park management to either increase the staffing or send the campers home before any further incidents arise. Left behind at Camp, the kids cross paths with the recently escaped Indominus Rex as Jurassic World descends into chaos. Heading south to the main park, tensions flare as the group discover that Sammy has been spying for a company with sinister motives. Narrowly avoiding encounters with the Mosasaur and Carnotaurus, an attack on the monorail by Pteranodons leads to the apparent death of Ben. Finally making it to the dock, the kids realise they are too late and have missed the last ferry off the island.
