The story follows Emily, portrayed by Zola Grimmer, a young woman haunted by past tragedies. Seeking a fresh start, she takes a job as a counselor at a camp for troubled youth. There, she is welcomed into a close-knit group of fellow counselors who introduce her to their own form of community and ritual, rooted in witchcraft. This newfound sense of belonging offers Emily a chance at forgiveness and a new life, but a persistent, ominous voice from the surrounding woods threatens to unravel it all.
The film is described as a story of "impossible redemption, modern witchcraft, and duels that repeat themselves like cursed cycles." It delves into how individuals navigate grief and guilt, and how found communities can offer solace, even if they harbor their own dangers. The setting of a summer camp, often a backdrop for conventional coming-of-age stories, is repurposed here for a more unsettling narrative.
Early viewings at festivals like Fantastic Fest and the Brooklyn Horror Film Festival have been positive, with some describing Camp as a "dreamily haunting coming-of-age tale with teeth." The trailer, released by Dark Sky Films, supports this with a distinct visual style that appears both intimate and eerie, focusing on the relationships between the young women as much as the supernatural threats.
Written and directed by Avalon Fast, Camp also stars Alice Wordsworth, Cherry Moore, Lea Rose Sebastianis, and Ella Reece. The film is scheduled for a select theatrical release in the United States on June 26, 2026. A release date for the Netherlands has not yet been announced.
