Daddy Day Camp

Camp crazy

Two men are in over their heads when they take over a rundown camp in Daddy Day Camp




In the movie Daddy Day Care, two dads — Charlie Hinton and Phil Ryerson — opened their own day care centre, which was a crazy idea since neither Charlie nor Phil knew very much about taking care of kids!


In the sequel, Daddy Day Camp, Charlie and Phil are back at it, but this time they’re put in charge of a summer day camp.


Now, Charlie and Phil are not really outdoorsy guys, but they are enthusiastic and aren’t afraid of hard work. And that’s good because the camp they take over is in bad shape — the buildings are falling apart and could use a fresh coat of paint (and let’s not even talk about the washrooms).


A camp like this doesn’t attract kids who expect horseback riding or parasailing lessons. No, Charlie and Phil’s camp is full of tough kids, geeky kids and some kids who don’t even like camp, which means our two camp counsellors have a heck of a time keeping them under control.


That’s why they call on Charlie’s dad for help. He’s a retired army officer who knows all about teamwork, schedules and discipline, and he’s not afraid to make some changes that’ll surely surprise this group of sad-sack campers!

Daddy Day Camp opens August 10.
