Jonas Brothers are fondly looking back on the treasured memories they made during their Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam days.
Nearly two decades after Kevin, Joe and Nick first stepped into the world of Camp Rock, they are heading back to camp with Camp Rock 3.
On the Thursday, August 13 episode of Hey Jonas! Podcast the trio got nostalgic, revisiting their previous shoots while discussing their return to the franchise.
Nick, 33, started with a moment from the first Camp Rock, recalling, “My favourite Camp Rock memory from back in the day had to be when we got to set. I think it was 7:00 or 8:00 in the morning, and we just hear this.”
He said that led into what became the movie’s memorable stomp-and-clap sequence, adding, “I’m like, what is happening? Because it wasn’t scripted.”
And while the brothers have plenty of fond memories from their Camp Rock years, some involved considerably less glamour than others.
“I had to jump in a freezing lake, even though it’s summertime,” Joe, who played Shane Gray, the lead singer of the fictional band Connect 3 and Mitchie Torres’ love interest, recalled.
Nick played his younger brother Nate Gray and Kevin, 38, played their brother Jason Gray.
The Jonas Brothers first joined the Camp Rock franchise in the 2008 original, starring alongside Demi Lovato, who played Mitchie.
They returned for Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam in 2010, with Connect 3 back at Camp Rock as the campers faced off against the rival Camp Star.
Now, they are back as Connect 3 in Camp Rock 3.
