Though it's rebuilt to a certain extent when she accepts that Camp Kikiwaka can be really hard to deal with at times.]]
38	-->'''Lou''': ''(after seeing the campers' shenanigans)'' You know, maybe scrapping this camp and starting a new one isn't such a bad idea.
39	* CountryMouse: Lou is apparently from rural part of America, she enjoys being in the outdoors, has won the country fair, enjoys the simple life, and has been to pig races. She even at one point calls herself a "country girl".
40	* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Seriously? "Dorcas"?
41	* GenkiGirl

44	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: It isn't until season 3 that we find out her full first name: Louella.

46	* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy, to Emma's girly girl.
47	* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Lou's afraid of babies. Or rather, afraid of hurting them. The reason is because when Finn was a baby, she accidentally bumped his head on a refrigerator door.
48
49	!!Xander [=McCormick=]
50	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/KevinQuinn
51	* BigBrotherInstinct: As councillor for the Grizzly cabin, Xander sets himself up as cool older brother figure, whose always caring, supportive and protective of the younger campers under his care. Or just younger campers in general.
52	** He literally becomes this to Griff, after his parents legally adopt him into their family.
53	* TheCastShowoff: He sings the Camp Kikiwakka song at the end of the pilot; the same performance also is the show's [[DoItYourselfThemeTune theme song]].
54	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Disappears at the end of season 2, and isn't even mentioned in season 3.
55	* TheGenericGuy: Other than his musical skills, he hasn't been seen doing much else.
56	** Gets more nuanced as the series goes on, with his love of outdoor sports and protectiveness of the younger campers.
57	* LustObject: To Hazel; he's not happy about this, but is too nice a guy to be very firm about it.
58	* MadeOfIron: In the second episode [[MakesSenseInContext Emma hits him several times with a huge tree branch,]] apart from some momentary pain it doesn't have much effect on him.
59	* NatureLover: Loves camping, fishing, hiking and pretty much everything involving being out with nature.
60	* NiceGuy: Really he's an all around cheerful and friendly person, who is kind to everyone.
61	* NoSenseOfDirection: He has a ''really'' poor sense of direction, and he refuses to admit it.
62	* OddCouple: Is an nature loving, outdoorsy fella, paired with PhoneaholicTeenager and [[CityMouse city girl]] Emma Ross. Deconstructed, as he takes their differences to mean [[spoiler: they shouldn't date, and breaks up with her.]]
63	* PrettyBoy: The fact he's attractive is made point of, plenty of times.
64
65	!!Jorge Ramirez
66	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/NathanArenas
67	* BookDumb: He didn't finish reading the title of the "Cat in the Hat" and he said his motto is "Never Read".
68	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Leaves at the end of season 2 and isn't even mentioned in season 3.
69	* CloudCuckoolander: Sometimes things he says don't make sense for example he asked what an apple is made of.
70	* GassHole: His flatulence is regularly complained about.
71	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Downplayed. Sometimes he likes to cause trouble mischief or egg on his friends....but at the end of the day he's always there for those he considers friends.
72	* TheDitz: He can be pretty unintelligent at times.
73	* ThePigPen: Horribly messy and unhygienic. Lampshaded in episode four, when Zuri rips apart his bunk, it's pointed out no one will be able to tell the difference.
74	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Luke. From gas hole and the unhygienic nature to the dim-wittedness, it seems as if they wanted Luke for the series but got Jorge as a last minute replacement. Even Ravi ends up doing the same things to him he does to Luke. Fittingly when Luke ''himself'' appears, Jorge identifies with his craft.
75	** Jorge also seems to share much in common, especially in looks, with [[Series/TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody Woody Fink]].
76
77	!!Tiffany Chen
78	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/NinaLu
79	* AbusiveParents: Tiffany's mother, even ignoring her extremely high standards and unreasonable techniques, is presented as unfairly berating and bullying her daughter, who is utterly terrified of her. Some of her notable accomplishments in the field of abusive parenting include:
80	** In the pilot, it's said that she punished Tiffany's brother by refusing to let him come home after he lost the national spelling bee.
81	** In "Secret Santa", it's revealed that she has hidden all of the Christmas presents Tiffany has gotten from Santa over the years, and told her that he only gives presents to people who have gotten a paper published in an Ivy league journal.
82	** Treating her birthday as something not worth celebrating.
83	* AsianAndNerdy: Is of Chinese descent, and possibly a bigger nerd than Ravi.
84	* BirdsOfAFeather: While starting off with rivalry, she grows into this with Ravi. Down to them both being incredibly smart, unathletic and nerds.
85	* CallingTheOldManOut: Old woman, but it has the same effect. She chastises her mother for being as abusive as she was, pointing out how her mother and grandmother's relationship has been soured by the EducationMama lifestyle.
86	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Disappears at the end of season 2, and even when a picture allegedly from season 2 is shown in season 3, she is absent (it's allegedly a "cabin portrait" of all the girls in Woodchuck Cabin, but Tiffany is noticeably missing and explicitly not mentioned).
87	* EducationMama: Part and parcel of being AsianAndNerdy. Her mother wants her in Harvard medical school, so she's been deprived of everything remotely resembling fun for her entire life. She also considers sleep to be akin to a disease and is researching a cure for it, because "anything that takes 8 hours a day away from studying ''can't'' be good for you".
88	** Subverted in that her mother isn't Asian.
89	* OnlySaneMan: She and Ravi are the only characters who know the Kikiwaka is real.

102	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/RaphaelAlejandro
103	* ChildProdigy: Besides love to science in general, when Lou decides to finalize her degree and enrolls a chemistry course in a community college, Matteo turns out to be a professor there, and a pretty strict one.
104	* TheKlutz: Tends to get injured fairly easily.
105	* MotherNatureFatherScience: Matteo is the science lover to Gwen's nature lover. Interestingly, they are the closest boy/girl friendship in season 4, flirting with a preteen "romance" and confirmed in season 5 that they became a couple over the summer.

116	* CousinOliver: A new camper introduced in season 3 who just happens to be Lou's second-cousin.
117	* GeniusDitz: Generally tends to be a bit stupid, though he is sometimes capable of surprising amounts of insight.
118	* ThePigPen
119	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: for Jorge.
120	* PutOnABus: Finn does not appear in season 6 (although he does have a special guest appearance in the episode "Finn it to Win it").

152	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/TrevorTordjman
153	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be, in short, a spoiled brat who wants to make Camp Kikiwaka more "modern" and a semi-rival to Lou's more traditional viewpoint, but he want to amount to something when it comes to running the camp.
