    Must see if you've worked in a summer camp

    'Caddyshack at Camp', I'm sure that was how this was pitched. All in all a fairly lighthearted romp through the woods. The subject material means it isn't for everyone, bit for those (like me) who have worked in an American summer camp, this is great.
