Inspired by true stories, CAMP is a feature film about investment advisor Ken Matthews (Michael Mattera), who volunteers to go to camp to impress a new client, but finds himself paired with an angry, troubled 10 year-old camper named Eli (Miles Elliot, "The Mentalist"). This is a great film for all who work with foster children.
