SummerCamp the Movie

By Lonnie Lorenz


Ahh, Overnight Summer Camp Movies, conjures up musty cabins, s'mores, mosquitoes, swimming, summer romance, pranks and much more. Yet most of the summer camp movies clearly have a less than wholesome appeal. That is until the movie Summercamp! arrived on the scene. This move is a documentary that lets parents take an inside look at the coed summer camp swift nature camp located in the northwoods of wisconsin.

"Summercamp!" Shows the outside world that the camp experience may provide Sunsets over the lake but its living in your cabin with a bunch of others that provides the interpersonal interactions. The Flaming Lips, provides a fun active soundtrack. The timeless aspects of camp with its no laptops or Gameboys policy makes SummerCamp a place of dedicated time. The modern world intrudes only when campers speak of their medications. Staff suggest that active kids need less pills and so camp is a great place to run, jump and be tiered every night.

This sweet movie follows a handful of campers struggling with daily life. There's Holly, who is obsessed with chickadees and often sad, why is revealed at the end of the film; Spencer, who is like a little wise man; and Cameron, boy who has dificulty reacting with others, yet wants to have more friends.

So here are a few of the comments others are thinking about this Summer Camp Movie:

How free and how troubling childhood can be, for one thing, and how we all improvise our way toward growing up. Bradley Beesley and Sarah Price's movie only seems minor on the surface. Like all good nonfiction works, it observes the specific until the specific turns universal, and the universal until you find yourself moved beyond words.

For those who enjoyed the camping experience as a youth, the movie, with its marshmallow roasts, canoe rides and talent shows, offers a bit of nostalgia. Others may find the whole thing a little pointless.

Bug bites, lime Jell-O, homesickness -- "Summercamp!" gets it all, and so what? What can a low-budget, shakily filmed documentary about three weeks at a Wisconsin sleepaway camp tell you that your own gimp-strewn memories can't?
