The Storyline

Starring Tommy Woodard, Eddie James, Leigh-Allyn Baker, Gigi Orsillo, and Mark Christopher Lawrence, Family Camp is a heartwarming comedy revolving around two traditional families each comprised of a father, mother, daughter, and son who set off for a church camp adventure at Camp Katokwah. Soon these two clans -- who couldn't be more different than each other -- find themselves unexpectedly bunking up together in a yurt as well as competing like their lives depend on it to take home the camp's games trophy for their own brood. 

From the get go, the kids are bickering among themselves and whining to their parents that there's no wifi or air conditioning, wondering how they will survive the week. In fact with plenty of mosquitos and other inconveniences and natural nuisances to go around for everyone, the grownups aren't exactly enjoying themselves, either.  

These families butt heads almost constantly as they fight to win a pie eating contest, ATV race, and an assortment of other family camp game competitions. Nothing is going right, with crazy mishaps at every turn. Without a doubt, once you see this, I think you'll agree that this is Murphy's Law on steroids. Things are looking really hopeless. That is, until the two dads end up stranded and lost in the woods together where their faith and family bonds are tested, and something surprising happens. 

DVD Special Features

• Theatrical Trailer
• Heart of Family Camp
• The Skit Guys Story
• Deleted Scenes with Optional Director Commentary
• Rhett Walker Goes Behind the Scenes
• Eddie's Yurt Tour

Why Summer is the Teenager Season

Summer

Teens Summer Frame of Mind

With summer starting in just under a week, I started thinking...

If one equates spring with renewal and birth, it's logical to see how winter might be a stand-in for the Golden Years and fall might represent middle age and adulthood. Summer is a little more challenging to draw those kinds of parallels to categorize it though, don't you think?

Summer as the Teenager

When I began considering what stage of life makes sense when thinking about summer, I automatically thought of that no man's or woman's land between baby and grown up called the teenage years.

Exploring new territory for the first time, the lack of real pressures of responsibility and deadlines, a feeling of both fearlessness and immortality -- when I think of all these, they apply equally to both being a teen and in general, the lazy and more forgiving pace of summertime for us all.

True, I may be far past those teen years myself and have raised four teenagers of my own to become independent, successful young adults. Still, I recall the great anticipation of seemingly endless lazy days with which I once greeted each new summer during my own Baby Boomer childhood.

These reflections about summer as the teenage season of life make me contemplate, understand and ultimately appreciate two very important lessons learned about living. The promise of summer ahead is definitely meant for every teenager's enjoyment. But everything good that each new summer brings is also intended for everyone of every age, young and old, to savor, to experience new things and to grow.

Wishing everyone a wonderful summer: however you choose to spend it. A summer of personal growth, health, and happiness, as well as an abundance of quality time and fun doing what you really enjoy on your own as well as with family and/or friends.
