Premise

Nora, Ginny, and Mary have been close friends since they were children, and have spent their summer vacations together without fail, attending sleepaway camp as a trio. As they have aged, their opportunities to spend time together have dwindled, and thus, when the chance for a summer camp reunion presents itself, they all accept it, albeit with different levels of enthusiasm.[1]

Cast

Production

In February 2023, Deadline reported that Diane Keaton, Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard signed on to star in the independent comedy film, Summer Camp, directed and written by Castille Landon.[1] The following month, Eugene Levy was added to the cast as the love interest Keaton's character.[2] In April, Beverly D'Angelo, Dennis Haysbert, Nicole Richie, Josh Peck, Betsy Sodaro and Tom Wright were added to the cast in undisclosed roles.[3]

Principal photography began in North Carolina in April 2023 and wrapped in late May.[4][5] Filming took place primarily at Camp Pinnacle and Blue Ridge Community College in Hendersonville.[4] Producer Dori Rath researched more than 200 summer camps across the United States out of "about 14,500 total summer camps" in the country before choosing Camp Pinnacle. She told the Asheville Citizen-Times, "Camp Pinnacle stood head and shoulders above the rest when it came to production value and a rich, cinematic landscape with exceptional activities-based structures, like their Sky Ropes course".[5] Other filming locations were Wingate University and Nantahala Outdoor Center.[5] Over 1,000 local extras were hired for the film.[4]
