Meanwhile, Shane Gray ( Joe Jonas), the spoiled and arrogant lead singer of the popular music trio Connect 3, is assigned to be in charge of dance classes at Camp Rock by his bandmates Nate Gray ( Nick Jonas) and Jason Gray ( Kevin Jonas) and is forced to record a song with the winner of Final Jam. Shortly after arriving at camp, Mitchie meets a girl named Caitlyn ( Alyson Stoner). In return, Mitchie must help her mother in the kitchen. Since her family cannot afford the tuition, Mitchie's mother, Connie Torres ( Maria Canals-Barrera), arranges to cater food for the camp, thus allowing Mitchie to attend. She wants to go to a summer music camp named "Camp Rock". Mitchie Torres ( Demi Lovato) is a young musician aspiring to be a singer. The film was followed by a sequel, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (2010). The film was watched by 8.9 million viewers on the night of its premiere and is currently the third highest viewed DCOM of all time, behind High School Musical 2 and Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie. Camp Rock was the second DCOM to air on ABC's The Wonderful World of Disney after its premiere on Disney Channel and was placed on the iTunes Store for digital purchase shortly after its premiere. The film premiered on Disney Channel on June 20, 2008. It is about Mitchie (Demi Lovato), a young girl aspiring to be a singer, and her time at Camp Rock, a summer music camp, where she will discover friends, adversaries, romance, and her voice. He is seen to be younger than Shane and Jason, but it is mentioned he is the same age as them, so if Shane is 16, he's probably be 15 or 14.Camp Rock is a 2008 American musical television film directed by Matthew Diamond and starring Demi Lovato, Joe Jonas, Meaghan Martin, Maria Canals-Barrera, Daniel Fathers, and Alyson Stoner.Shane, Jason and Nate himself being siblings as of the second film might have been a retcon.However there are events in the first film that contradict this fact, such as when Nate says "And you get to see "your" Uncle Brown" to Shane rather than saying "our" and also when Jason added in the same scene, "Yeah, this where Connect 3 connected" referencing that the boys could of met at Camp Rock as youngsters. In the second film, Nate and Jason are revealed to be brothers with Shane.During the second film, he became good friends with Ella Pador, Caitlyn Gellar, Tess Tyler, Barron James, Sander Lola and Peggy Dupree. However, in between the events of the first and second film, it is possible Nate became friends with Mitchie Torres, due to her starting a relationship with Shane. In the first film, Nate doesn't attend Camp Rock, so he is only shown to be friends with Shane and Jason. He is a extremely good guitarist and sings in part of the bands songs. Nate is known as the business-obsessed one and scolds Shane for his bad reputation. In the first movie, when Shane's attitude gets out of hand, Nate and Jason make him go to Camp Rock, although it is clear that Nate is the more serious one. Nate spends the summer at Camp Rock and assists with the mission to save the future of Camp Rock and grows feelings for Dana Turner, a girl at the rival camp, Camp Star. But there was a down side, he has to spend a lot of time with Jason and becomes easily fed up with his easily-distracted attitude and false hope that Shane is making him a birdhouse.
Nate is surprised at the change in Shane already and knows he did the right thing. One day at Camp Rock, Shane surprises the campers with bringing out Nate and Jason and they play a new song for them which isn't like their old stuff. He tells Shane that they've told the press he is to sing a duet with the winner of Final Jam and although Shane is furious at first, after he hears the girl with the voice, he changes his mind. Nate is the one who makes Shane go to Camp Rock and we later see Shane begging for them to come back and pick him up, but Nate is adamant that he should stay.
