### Adventure Camp

**The infos on this subtitle are from the BETA Season and not canon in the current timeline of Disventure Camp.**
As an Adventure Camp fanatic, Dan entered the show with confidence that he could make it far in the competition.

In Here We Go Again, Dan arrives very excited at Camp Tipiskaw. He is the 11th contestant to get off the bus placing himself in the Blazing Beavers. On the way to their cabins, he asks Tom why he has a mask, with Miriam responding that he does it to dress ridiculously, however Tom explains that for security reasons, he must keep his identity secret.

In the challenge, he did not do much and was one of the three contestants to reach the top last with Grett and Miriam. His team had a great advantage however his team loses. He decides to ally with the boys to vote one of the girls. First he convinces them to vote for Miriam being the weakest. Tom agrees however Jake suggests voting for Gabby, while Grett convinces Miriam and Gabby to vote for Dan. Grett decides to trick Tom by telling him that Dan is against him, and that he discovered his secret. In the elimination ceremony, he was between the two at risk with Miriam In the end he is surprised when he is eliminated. Dan is confused when Tom tells him that he knows that he was trying to turn against him. In the end, Grett reveals her plan, while Dan ends up being the first eliminated and leaves on the losers' bus.

Dan returns with the other contestants in Not So Happy Finalists, Part 1 and Not So Happy Finalists, Part 2 and alongside Tom, Jake and Miriam, rooted for Fiore.

### Disventure Camp (Season 1)

At the start of the season, Dan found himself on the Teal Team with Grett, Fiore, Tom, Jake, Miriam and Drew. During the first impressions twist, Dan (along with everyone else except Miriam), voted out Fiore, thinking she was the weakest on the team. Instead of getting the boot, Fiore got to switch teams with the person who was voted out on the Purple Team, Gabby. During the first challenge, Dan, Tom, Jake and Drew all went on the offensive, while Gabby, Grett and Miriam went to guard the flag. While guarding the flag, Grett suggested an alliance to Gabby and Miriam, and agreed to it. Teal Team lost the Challenge after Lill was able to overpower Dan, Jake and Drew after Tom split off from them. Luckily no one was eliminated.

Fast forward to Day 2, Dan couldn't help but notice that Grett was bossing Gabby around. During the second challenge, Dan told Gabby that she shouldn't let Grett speak to her like that, when all the sudden Dan tripped on a rock and lost his glasses. Gabby volunteered to look for his glasses with him while the others continued on without them. While looking for his glasses, Gabby stumbled upon the Immunity Idol, and decided not to tell Dan. After that, Dan was able to find his glasses, regroup with the rest of the team at the top of the hill, and win immunity.

After the Teal Team lost their Immunity on Day 3, Dan mused that while Tom lost the Immunity challenge for the Teal Team, he's their strongest member, and they can't just eliminate him. After some back and forth, they decided to vote Gabby out, noting that she was a bit too out there. Later, when Tom was alone, Grett approached Tom, telling him that Drew has been observing him from afar, and came to the conclusion that Tom may be a spy. This was later revealed to be Grett's handiwork, but thinking quickly, Tom joined the girls in voting out Drew 4 - 3.

After Last Night's Elimination Ceremony, Jake and Dan were skeptical on who betrayed the boys alliance, with Dan commenting on how no one can be trusted here, dissolving the boys alliance. Dan tries to make things up with Gabby, but Gabby makes it pretty clear that she's upset with him, and doesn't trust him anymore. Teal Team wins the Immunity Challenge on Day 4, and a phone call home, in which, Dan's phone call is the only one that is positive.

On Day 10, before the challenge begins, Dan comments on how uncomfortable of a position he is in. With Gabby not trusting him, The Boys Alliance Dissolved & Grett running around, He needs to win this challenge. Unfortunately Gabby leads him to a hole, which he falls in, getting him out of the game. In the end Gabby wins Immunity after standing up to Grett. After the Challenge, Grett tries to threaten Gabby once again to get her to vote for Dan or else Gabby is next. Tried of all of this Miriam gets Dan and Gabby together to vote off Grett, Gabby is still skeptical about working with Dan, as he betrayed her, but with everything accounted for, Grett was eliminated 3 - 1 - 1 - 1.

Later that night Ellie arrived at the Teal Team's Camp, announcing that she and Grett had switched teams with Dan commenting that with Ellie on the team, they can just vote her out and still remain as a team. During the morning on Day 13, Gabby forgave Dan for voting for her during Drew's elimination. During the Immunity Challenge, Dan's glasses were broken because of a giant puzzle piece to the head. Without his glasses the Teal Team couldn't do much, losing the Challenge to the New Purple Team consisting of Fiore, Alec and Grett. Back at camp, Dan and Miriam tried to get Gabby to vote for Ellie, but Gabby argued back, saying that they only care about what they want and not what she wants. At the Elimination Ceremony, Gabby played her Idol for Ellie in fear of her being eliminated by Dan and Miriam, with Dan being blindsided in a ~~3~~ - 2 - 1 vote.

Dan returns in Episode 13, where he roots for Miriam
