 Fun and Compelling MovieMay 17, 2008
By Sam Smith
This doc about gay teens who attend a Bible camp is fascinating. Watching the kids open up about their religious beliefs and their sexual orientation is very compelling. I saw the movie at Outfest, LA's gay film festival, and the audience went wild -- giving a huge standing ovation at the end. In fact it won the audience award for the best doc that year. I'll definitely get a copy to add to my collection when it comes out. Both the gay and Christian communities can learn a lot through the kids' honesty.

Camp outJun 15, 2008

"Lisa"
This film was so well done it made me laugh and it also made me cry but what is did most of all is open my eye`s to how hard it is for some young adults
to have to struggle with their everyday living and how they deal with their feeling`s.
But I have a feeling everyone of these young people will do GREAT in this life we all have to just keep fighting the fight!
Thank you Tim, Jesse, Christine,Thomas ect, for that peek into your lives and opening alot of peoples eye`s!

Amazing Look At Being a Gay Christian YouthAug 09, 2008
By Anthony M. Bowen
Many of the new LGBT documentaries that come out are dealing with difficult, cutting edge topics. Camp Out is no exception. Very high quality, the movie looks to just capture five days of the first LGBT youth Christian camp. The directors take a neutral role, wanting to show the raw struggles that gay Christian youth go through. Whether you believe homosexuality is compatabile with Christianity or not, this film is about the diverse youth that many of us know and a great opportunity to learn about the upcoming generation. As a gay Christian youth, this movie helped confirm that there are many others like myself dealing with similar issues. Great praise for Camp Out and The Naming Project.

A must buyJan 03, 2009
By M. D. Longo
"DVD king"
This documentry was great. The kids- now adults- did a great job telling their story about trying to cope being gay in a stright world. This camp helped them find new friends. I was watching this movie thinking that some campers as young as age 14 had the courage to come out to family and friends and I know that would have been hard for me at their age. I wish there was a camp like this when I was the campers age. It would have been a little eaiser for me knowing that I wasnt the only gay teen boy around. I dont mean to quote the movie but about 14 years ago I felt so alone since I felt that I was the only gay male near me. During my High School years there were no gay clubs or anything like that.I would like to thank the producers and the campers-- Tim, Thomas, Jesse,Spencer, Kosono, Chris, Christine, Alison, Kristi and the rest-- you helped with the first ever gay religous camp and opened many eyes. If there is ever a sequel-- I cant wait to hear how the camp has effected your lives in the long run.

 Rent - don't BuyDec 08, 2008
By jasonhad
Interesting documentary on a group of teens grappling with being gay and their Christian beliefs. Warm and fuzzy without being cloying, but this is not a disc that will see lots of daylight - once seen, there is little to be gained from a second playback. Rent it first - there are plenty of good films that cost a lot less and will deliver repeat performances.
