The time-honored “summer camp” kids comedy earns a most innocuous treatment with “Camp Hideout,” an almost faith-based take on a subject that “Meatballs,” “Ernest Goes to Camp,” an “Addams Family” movie and many others got to before it, almost always more amusingly.

One plus in this Sean Olson project was landing the great Christopher Lloyd as the cranky, armed hard-case camp director, not Lloyd’s first time riding herd on kids in the Great Outdoors. Remember “Camp Nowhere?” No?

Well, this one isn’t much less forgettable than that ’94 Disney outing. As in that one, Lloyd’s the one real “plus” in it.

We think it’s going to be about a social worker (Amanda Leighton) taking a problem orphaned teen Noah (Ethan Drew) to camp and out of trouble over the course of a summer. But Leighton’s Selena character falls almost completely into the background.

Noah, who gets on the camp bus right after escaping from the law and the guys (Josh Incola, Joshua Childs) he helped steal a Gameboy-like gadget from some tech company for, will be in the care of counselor Jake (“High School Musical” alumna Corbin Bleu).

Jake’s the movie’s connection to “faith based” as a genre, as Camp Deer Run is wholesome with a capital “W,” and Jake’s sing-alongs and meditative moments with what we take to be his Bible are meant to be an example to all, especially parentless and directionless Noah.

Camp manager Falco (Lloyd) has only to bellow “Stay OUTTA the woods at night! Stay outta the LAKE at night! And no gadgets. NO electronics!” for us to wonder what rules Noah will flout first.

Noah occasionally turns to the camera to give us a “Can you believe this place?” sneer and put-down. Hilarious.

Olson — “Max Winslow and the House of Secrets” and “F.R.E.D.I.” were his — and three credited screenwriters split screen time between camp activities like ziplines and paintball, camp flirting (Jenna Raine Simmons plays the girl who likes “bad boys”), camp bullying from the rich jock (Luca Alexander) and the hapless crooks anxious to get in and grab whatever Noah was supposed to hand over to them.

For the crooks to be foiled, Noah has to make friends and build teamwork, not easy for a guy with his temperament.

“Can you not be angry for like ONE MINUTE?”

There’s a chuckle or two from Lloyd, another couple from the crooks, and Noah’s dorky, over-eager, over-sharing “bladder control” issues roomie (Tyler Kowalski) lands one all by himself.

“Can you help me with the rubber sheets?”

There isn’t much here, and there’s absolutely nothing here we haven’t seen in every other summer camp comedy — on film or on TV — that preceded this one, including the fact that Christopher Lloyd’s on board.

And don’t expect Olson to wring laughs from mediocre material. His on-screen track record shows “harmless” is the main saving grace about his children’s films.
