Sixteen contestants, ranging in age from 12 to 15, are taken completely off the grid to solve puzzles and overcome physical challenges, with the laws of karma setting the rules.
Teens compete in challenges that will test their mind, body and spirit; after settling into their cabins and getting to know one another, they compete in a high-stakes "Plank Walk" to secure their spot in the competition and their shot at $50,000.
A surprise departure leads to a shocking return; alliances begin to form as the Orange and Green teams struggle with the consequences of their past actions; two teams are sent to the "Cave of Karma."
Teams begin to doubt a contestant’s trustworthiness and hatch a plan that could generate some bad karma. At a challenge that tests their strength as duos, the players end up dangling on the edge for a win that comes with an extra incentive. With the next trip to the Cave looming, tensions are high and partners begin to turn on each other.
Love is in the air at camp – but will the players let their emotions cloud their judgement? After a challenge requiring both strength and smarts, the teams contemplate whether or not to level the playing field for those entering the "Cave of Karma," where an exciting showdown takes place.
As the power dynamics between the teams start to shift, the contestants are faced with a challenge that requires a leap of faith in the name of teamwork. Later, strategy takes center stage in deciding who gets karma coins – and how the game is played in the Cave.
As the final four teams face a challenge of mind over body, one team experiencing some serious self-doubt ends up with all the power. But before the nail-biting conclusion, it's time for a super sweet surprise.
With only three teams remaining, there's nowhere left to hide. Hungry for a win, players paddle their way to a coveted place in the finals. Before a dramatic trip to the Cave, the teens get a much-needed taste of home – and face a twist that could give one team the upper hand.
The last two teams must summon all their strength, smarts, and confidence as they enter the "Cave of Karma" one final time.
