Harriston

"Good job, Harrison! This tree DOES make me happy!"

- Preston to Harrison, in "Foreign Exchange Campers"

Harriston is the slash ship between Harrison and Preston Goodplay from the Camp Camp fandom.

Canon
Harrison and Preston seem to have known each other since before "Escape from Camp Campbell", the closest thing to a first interaction between the two characters was in "Mind Freakers".

In "Mind Freakers" Harrison mostly shows off his illusion and "magic" skills to the whole camp, during the episode he does magic shows, in which Preston is present in every one of them.

In "Eggs Benefits", as in "Mind Freakers", Preston seems to have some kind of admiration or amusement for Harrison's and Omlé's magic show.

In "Space Camp Was a Hoax" Preston and Harrison sat together while eating, and later, they were close to each other as they set up the montage for the fake moon landing, during the scene, Harrison was looking to Preston, that may imply that they where talking.

In "Foreign Exchange Campers", during the group activity, Preston and Harrison interacted after the magician found the "Tree That Makes You Happy", this implies that they both decided to be together in the activity, only their voices were heard and it irritated Max.

In "The Fun-Raiser", Harrison has the idea to raise money for the Quartermaster by making a tv ad, Preston immediately appears and tells him in his screaming tone "Oh, I'd love that! a heartbreaking call to action, crammed with so much depressed imagery! you'd have to be heartless not to donate". As Preston talks, Harrison seems to be watching every outlandish move he makes. Later in the episode, when it is discovered that Gwen and David stoled the Quartermaster's hook, Harrison asks why Gwen kept the hook in her shorts, since that was literally asking for trouble, Preston nods as Harrison speaks.

In "Preston Goodplay's Good Play" Preston does his first performance of the "Wacky Camp Counselor" character, Harrison finds the way he imitates David hilarious and begs Preston to do more performances of the character. Later in the same episode, Preston can be seen wearing Harrison's top hat, in the background, Harrison watches the show confused and/or bored. The scene implies that Preston reached out and personally asked Harrison for his hat and maybe the scarf Preston uses.

Fanon
Harriston is one of the most popular pairing involving Preston or Harrison. The ship is based of all the times where Preston and Harrison interacted in the background of the episodes (or just the times they where close to each other) and how they both seem to to be connected or familiar with the stage shows. The Camp Camp fandom also compares both boys since they are victims of Nurf's bullying.

Because of the chapter "The Quarter-Moon Convergence" some fanfics use the plot that Harrison has emotional and/or social problems and Preston is the one who helps, comforts and supports him. This is probably because depression, social problems, or emotional problems are very common and easy for some people to relate to.

It is the rival ship of Nerrison, MaxPres and PresNer, and it currently has less than 25 works in Archive of Our Own.
