Ava King

* Season 5
* Season 4

**Ava Marie King** is a former main character who had main appearances in seasons 4-5 of *Bunk'd*. She is a tenacious counselor from the big city who is unfamiliar with camp traditions.

She is portrayed by **Shelby Simmons**.

## Personality

Ava is self-involved, she tends not to be interested in making friends or the personal lives of other people.

It is eventually revealed this is related to the fact she rarely gets personal time away from her family, which causes a desire to have as much isolation as possible.

However, after Noah tries to genuinely become her friend, she starts to be a little less standoffish, realizing that maybe having one friend is preferable to always being alone.

Ava tends to be irresponsible at times, easily being persuaded into allowing the campers to undertake reckless and dangerous behavior.

She gradually grew out of this after learning some responsibility for the campers.

## Relationships

Being the only daughter in her family, Ava consistently felt ignored and overshadowed by her brothers' achievements.

When her mother failed to attend one of Ava's volleyball tournaments, Ava interpreted this as a lack of affection and interest, had a big fight with her mother, then got on a bus and just kept going until it stopped at Moose-rump. With no idea what to do next, she applied to be a camp counselor for Woodchuck Cabin, just to avoid having to go home.

When Destiny and Gwen learn about Ava's emotional separation from her mother, they decide to send a fake letter from Ava apologizing to Bonnie King, unfortunately for them, this causes Bonnie to arrive at the camp in person to reconcile with her daughter and their ruse is soon discovered.

Bonnie and Ava eventually reconcile for real with Lou's assistance, but when Ava tries to leave to go home, Destiny and Gwen refuse to let her, because they will miss her if she leaves.

Seeing how much the Woodchuck girls care for Ava, Bonnie advises her to stay at the camp as a counselor for the cabin.

When Destiny accidentally discovers Ava's hidden singing talent, she encourages her to try out for the vacant position of Camp Song leader, only for Ava's public performance anxiety to take effect and cause her physical & emotional distress. The girls eventually figure out a way for Ava to gain confidence in public performing and when later seen singing/guitar playing on stage, Ava doesn't have any difficulty in performing publicly.
