Summer Camp Island is an animated television series created by Julia Pott for Cartoon Network. Produced by Cartoon Network Studios, it premiered on July 7, 2018. The series depicts the episodic adventures of Oscar and Hedgehog, both of whom are staying at the magical eponymous summer camp. The show premiered with a 48-hour marathon consisting of the first 20 episodes running over an entire weekend, on both Cartoon Network and Boomerang. Another 20 episodes premiered on June 23, 2019, as the second half of the first season.

Four additional seasons premiered exclusively on HBO Max, at approximate six-month intervals from June 2020 to December 2021. The series' sixth and final season was originally to be released in 2022 on HBO Max. Despite the series being removed from HBO Max in the United States in August 2022, Cartoon Network had informed The A.V. Club that the season would air on Cartoon Network.[6] Creator Julia Pott has stated that she was not informed regarding the reason for its removal.[7]

The series concluded on August 11, 2023. Although produced in a quarter-hour format, the series mostly airs on Cartoon Network as two 11-minute segments of a half-hour show.
