Camp Hennessey is a juvenile rehabilitation camp located in Fairview where Andrew Van de Kamp was sent during seasons one and two. It is first mentioned in the season one episode "There Won't Be Trumpets".

Andrew first spent time here after experiencing shockingly rude and dangerous behaviour in season one . He was expelled from his school for drug abuse and was continuously rude to his mother Bree, at one point kicking her into a wall. After his behaviour got out of hand Bree managed to convince a reluctant Rex to send him to the camp for rehabilitation. Officials from the camp were called during the night and were forced to drag Andrew out of his room. This betrayal on Bree's part merited her a disgusted look from her son.

Bree and Rex later visited their son at the camp. When arriving there, Bree was shocked to discover that Andrew had personally requested that only his father speak with him. Believing that her son had grown to hate her, Bree stormed into the meeting room and delivered a big speech on how she was a great mother and was only looking out for her son's best interests. After her rant was over, she was calmly told by Rex that the only reason Andrew had requested to speak with him was because he was beginning to think that he might be gay. Bree left the room in a shocked daze. Because of this reason, Andrew was taken out the "All boys" camp.
However, later in Season 2, Andrew was sent here again after attacking his mothers new boyfriend, George Williams, at a swim meet when witnessing him attempt to kiss her so soon after his father's death. This was the last time Andrew was sent to the camp, being released a few episodes later. His uncontrollable behaviour was later dealt with personally by Bree, dumping her son on the side of the road.
