Description
 
CAMP tells the story of Eli, a young boy who angry and troubled, and Ken, who volunteers to work at camp in order to impress a potential client. The two are paired together but don’t get along from the moment they meet. Luckily, they are cabin-mates of Sam, an army sergeant and Redford, an optimistic boy who believes he is an alien. Just as Ken learns of Eli’s dark past and Eli begins to open up to Ken, one event makes everything spiral out of Ken’s control again. Can Ken learn what to sacrifice in the face of loving Eli unconditionally?

I was very impressed with CAMP. The quality of the film is like a movie found in the theaters and the acting, for the most part, is also quite good. It never came off as cheesy except when the dialogue was intended to be. There are moments of anger, laughter, understanding . . . I felt like I was out at the camp with them! Most of the main adults are strong, rounded characters. The kids were all so cute too and I appreciated that we got to see each of their struggles and reactions. My heart broke for them because realistically many kids face these problems every day and need a safe place like a camp to see that they are loved and not alone. Any Christian message was subtle in the film but not absent, such as loving others unconditionally.

The only rough spots for this movie were the coarse language/swearing that was used once in a while as well as violence – verbal and physical – towards children (most is implied but some roughness and intense scenes are shown). Also, the main character Ken made me cringe multiple times at first because I wanted him to stop being so self-absorbed and see what was happening around him. After watching the movie I wished I was back out volunteering at my summer camp! Hopefully watching CAMP will inspire and remind you that there are mission fields close to home too.
