LOS ANGELES -- Every teenage dream is becoming a reality: #TeamInternet is getting its own summer camp.

A couple of camps, actually.

On Friday, Creative Artists Agency, Mills Entertainment and a handful of YouTube stars announced the launch of Camp17, a series of themed camps that will give fans -- ages 10 to 16 -- the opportunity to interact and learn from their favorite digital influencers.

The first camp -- called "Camp AIM"-- will be run by 22-year-old YouTube lifestyle vlogger Meghan Rienks at David Oved Retreat Center in Big Bear Lake from May 27-30.

Rienks said AIM -- which stands for Authentic, Inspiration and Motivation -- will focus on "self-empowerment and helping girls look and feel good from the inside out."

Activities will include everything from improvisational theater to swimming.

“From being a camper to becoming a counselor myself - this a great, full circle moment now that I have the opportunity to take on this leadership position in creating my own dream camp for my followers," Rienks said in a statement.

Up next: YouTubers Tyler Oakley and Bethany Mota's #BestCampEver in Torrington, Conn. from Aug. 21-27. The two serve as co-counselors, which means they will participate in classic activities like ceramics, swimming, soccer, color wars, yoga and cooking with the campers.

“Unplugging is a good thing," Oakley said in a statement. "This means turning off your computers, cell phones and other outside influences and when we can disconnect from the distractions of everyday we can concentrate on reconnecting with ourselves and with each other.”

The third and final option: Franta's Creator Camp at Camp Beber in Mukwonago, Wisconsin, which takes place Aug. 22-26. It will give attendees the opportunity to learn the creative and technical secrets to content from Franta, who has over 5.2 million subscribers.

Fans are already freaking out on Twitter. Some even signed up as soon as the website went live.
