'BUNK'D' Celebrates 100 Episodes: Skai Jackson Talks Cameron Boyce

Some of Disney Channel’s biggest stars are looking back at their time on the BUNK’D set to celebrate the series’ 100th episode!

The show, which premiered in July 2015 as a Jessie spinoff, has featured stars like Israel Johnson, Mallory James Mahoney, Will Buie Jr., Raphael Alejandro, Peyton List, Miranda May, Trevor Tordjman, Scarlett Estevez, Skai Jackson and Karan Brar over the years. Many of these current and former Disney Channel stars shared their favorite memories from the BUNK’D set ahead of the show’s major milestone, and J-14 has an exclusive first look!

In this exclusive clip, fans will look back at some of the most iconic moments from all five seasons of BUNK’D, including 16 campers sprayed by skunks, five capsized canoes, over 20 animals running around on set and some epic special appearances from the campers’ family members. Of course, the stars also reminisced about all their “crazy adventures” and revealed why they love being a part of the series!

While not every cast member past and present appeared in the video, they did all get a chance to gush over their time on the BUNK’D set. Skai, for one, remembered working alongside the late Cameron Boyce when he guest starred on the series for two episodes. Disney Channel fans will remember that the pair had a close bond while filming Jessie together, but Cameron didn’t reprise his role Luke Ross for the spinoff. However, he did take a trip to Camp Kikiwaka for season 1, episode 12, titled “Luke’s Back” and season 2, episode 6, titled “Luke Out Below.”

“My favorite memory from BUNK’D was when Cameron Boyce guest starred,” the actress told J-14 exclusively. “We didn’t get to see him every day anymore since he was filming his own show, so getting to spend a week with him in our usual routine was really fun. It was great getting to work with him again, and getting to see him play Luke for one of the last times. He was always a blast on set, and it felt like a full family again when he was there! Having those moments with him on the BUNK’D set will always be my favorite memory.”

Skai ended up saying goodbye to the series in 2018, after three seasons as Zuri Ross, but she has nothing but fond memories of her BUNK’D days. And she’s not the only star looking back! Scroll through our gallery to see the former and current BUNK’D stars’ favorite memories from the show.

Raphael Alejandro

“Shooting BUNK’D was always a fun and unexpected experience, and one of my favorite memories is from the ‘Snow Cups and Fisticuffs’ episode where Matteo played a detective and tried to find the person who stole the snow cup cart,” he recalled. “I enjoyed shooting this episode because Matteo solved a mystery, and playing a detective was a blast. Congratulations to all cast and crew who have joined and stayed with us throughout our exciting and surprising adventures at Camp Kikiwaka! I’m so proud to have been a part of BUNK’D history.”

Mallory James Mahoney

“Some of my favorite memories from our show are just the little moments, like when we are waiting in between takes. We all just talk and laugh together but also love to do tons of different handshakes, and games too,” she shared. “We play games like slide, boom snap clap, chopsticks and we have even written slam poetry.”

Mallory continued, “Another thing that I love about BUNK’D is that we love to bring in live animals to work with. It’s so much fun, and I am a huge animal lover, so I have loved snuggling puppies, kittens, piglets, cows, sloths, kangaroos, donkeys and more!”

Will Buie Jr.

“Some of my favorite memories from set are rehearsing and running lines with Jason, our dialogue coach, and our script supervisor, Linda. They are on set helping us every day and care about us so much,” the Disney star gushed. “My favorite episode was season 3, episode 9, when Finn, Matteo and Destiny fixed up an old car as a gift to Lou. It was so fun working with an old car, neat costumes and filming flashbacks to the Bonnie and Clyde era.”

Israel Johnson

“One of my favorite lines I said on the show this season was ‘Funky G,’ because it was a nickname I gave my brother on the show and I’ve been trying to get him to say for years,” the actor recalled. “I loved when I said the line, ‘Hamburgers are ready’ in season 4, because I remember on the day we shot that episode I had the biggest voice crack, and it was hilarious.”

Trevor Tordjman

“My top favorite moment was my first day on set!” the Disney star shared. “It started with a table read and within the first 15 seconds I was holding back laughter. I was like, ‘Oh … these people are funny!’ Meeting the entire creative team that day was so incredible.”

Trevor continued, “I’d also have to say chillin’ with Miranda and Raini [Rodriguez] on our Halloween episode was a lot of fun. We just couldn’t stop laughing. They kept making me sing the song ‘Cotton Eyed Joe’ like a country singer!”

Scarlett Estevez

“The Halloween episode was an awesome episode to shoot and an enjoyable memory. In the episode, Gwen’s doll Cuddles has powers that are making Gwen turn a little dark,” the actress recalled. “I got to do some fun work with wind, and it looked like I was being blown out of the mess hall and got to play Gwen in a completely different way.”

Scarlett added, “Another incredible memory was the episode where Gwen and Finn are trying to get into the [Guiness Book of World Records] by completing different challenges. One of them was to make the world’s biggest s’more, which at one point Finn falls on top of. It was so so hard to keep a straight face at that moment.”
