‘Parent Trap’ Campers: Where Are They Now? (2024)

It’s been more than two decades since fans were reintroduced to The Parent Trap with the 1998 remake of the 1961 original — and viewers are still singing “Let’s get together, yeah, yeah, yeah!”

The reboot, starring Lindsay Lohan as 11-year-old twins Annie James and Hallie Parker, gained its own dedicated fanbase after its release and the story still resonates with many.

For many viewers, the nostalgia begins and ends with all the fun that took place at Camp Walden. The location is responsible for introducing the girls and forming their bond as sisters and it inspired many fans to start eating Oreos dipped in peanut butter.

While at camp, Annie and Hallie —who were named after director Nancy Meyers‘ daughters — create their own super teams made up of one to two BFFs each.
