Idol Alum Matt Rogers to Host USA's Summer Camp

American Idol alum Matt Rogers will host USA's new reality series Summer Camp,  TVGuide.com has learned.
From Big Brother's Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan, the reality series brings 16 adults back to their favorite locale of their youth: summer camp. But instead of campfire sing-alongs, they will compete in over-the-top, camp-inspired challenges. At the end of the summer, the finalists face off in the Campathalon, an Olympic-style event to determine the winner.
