Reviewer's grade: B

 

Mosquito repellent? Check. Ten pairs of underwear? Check. Emotional hang-ups and social issues? Check. Going to camp's not much different than going to school, kids, except that when class is over, they don't let you leave, thus opening up far more opportunities for wedgies.

 

The documentary "Summercamp!" follows the crazy, lazy days of kid campers at a Wisconsin nature camp, focusing mostly on the introverts because "? let's face it "? they make for the best story lines. Although a bit too long, the film captures the joy, sorrow, excitement and boredom of being parent-free for a couple of weeks. It's funny, it's sad and leaves you with a big smile on your face.

 

Check it out at Thursday through Saturday at the Oklahoma CityArt Museum. NR
