Absolutely amazing. A touching heartfelt, and at times jaw dropping documentary. I’ve never been to camp, but the film makes me wish that I have! It got me thinking how amazing it would be to be a counselor. Keep up the good work Jeff and Lonnie, smiles like these are what kids really need. Posted 04/29/09 by Jeff & Lonnie Lorenz
We are the Directors of Swift Nature Camp. Thanx so much for your kind words about this movie. It was wonderful having the film crew at camp for so many weeks. We are proud of how well the movie shows what life is like for kids today. Our camp was only a backdrop to childhood. To learn more about our camp visit Summer Camp Posted 01/30/09 by Mike Elzinga
This is an amazing film. It gives so much insight into the mind of a child. They are deeper than we think. It helps you understand a bully, an introvert, and every other type of person you grew up with. Showed me that you can’t judge people until you know their story and I hope kids that age could figure that out by watching this film. |
