90 kids let loose in the woods at Swift Nature Camp in northern WisconsinSUMMERCAMP! follows the day-to-day drama of 90 kids let loose in the woods at Swift Nature Camp in northern Wisconsin. Camp is a place where kids can be kids, where their home and school lives momentarily fade into the background as they go through the highs and lows of adolescent rituals: sing-alongs, talent shows, homesickness, counselor mutiny--and first love. Amidst group activities, showy arguments, and secret conversations, filmmakers Bradley Beesley and Sarah Price submerge themselves into this curious camp subculture, capturing a diverse array of adolescents from all economic and social backgrounds. Through the non-calloused eyes of kids, SUMMERCAMP! captures the raw emotional experiences that will endure with them for the rest of their lives. Support   2006 | 85 min

I thought that this was a really good film. I saw myself as a child in a number of the children.I can especially relate to the girl who talked about the chickadee. You hold on to whatever gets you through the rough times. I was especially happy that her whole cabin agreed on the chickadee. I loved it and I can also relate to the camp counselors. I respect them so much because I don’t know how calm I could be dealing with some of the children.
