21 Jump Street: S5E7: "This Ain't No Summer Camp"

Written by Morgan Gendel

Directed by Peter D. Marshall

Airdate: November 24, 1990

Guest Star: Leon Russom (Ohanion)

"Survival Search" is a program designed to help juvenile delinquents learn about the outdoors. When a young man dies on a hike, suspicion turns to Mr. Ohanion who runs the program.

Doug and Joey Penhall are sent in to investigate. Doug uses the "McQuaid" alias, while Mike poses as a student. While Mr. Ohanion is tough on the students, they see no evidence of violence. The story turns on a rivalry between old students that led to murder. Mr. Ohanion turns out to be a sympathetic figure. 

There's just not much to say about this episode. The after-school movie vibes are heavy.  At least the Penhall brothers are getting along.
