What Parents Need to Know

About Camp

Parents need to know that this movie has very strong language and sexual references and situations for a PG-13. An adult character is an alcoholic. One of the movie's strengths is the way that the love for theater gives these kids so much in common that other differences, including race and sexual orientation, are warmly embraced.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how several of the kids are deeply hurt by parents who do not support their interests and talents. They could also talk about Bert's bitterness -- why did he think it would make him feel better to speak to the kids the way he did? Why didn't it?

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 5.0

    i cried1 i laughed!

    i liked the story. it was good and down to earth. this is what goes on in every day life and the film was not afraid to express it. another thing i liked was that the kids were so talented and how they were able to act so well in the outdoors were there could be weather changes in a momments notice.
