Awakening Passions at Camp Bleeding Dove
"Happy Campers" examines a group of summer campers at Camp Bleeding Dove, somewhere near the Carolinas.

Great sleeper hit! WATCH This movie ASAP
Today, teen comedies involve a lot crude humor and the kids just never learn anything. "Happy Campers" has BOTH, and mixes them well which will satisfy a wide audience.

This story really taps into what kids go through today. This is a must watch folks, sit back and enjoy some laughs as well as somethings to think about from you youth or if you are in this age group of the kids in the film they might cover issues and feelings you are currently going through.
Fantastic movie!
