Summer Sparks â (currently streaming free on the Roku channel)

This movie is a delightful, light-hearted camp movie that is perfect for families! Adam (Jesse Metcalfe) and Monica (Kathryn Davis) are single parents who are initially hesitant to open themselves up to the idea of love again, but as they spend more time together, a subtle attraction develops between them.

Both families decide to attend Camp Evergreen to reconnect over a cooking competition.

The children are lovely and get along well together, which is refreshing to see. Monica’s teenage daughter, Hannah, develops a sweet crush on fellow camper Sam, who also happens to be competing in the cook-off with his family. In a fun twist, Sam also happens to be the son of Monicaâs childhood camp rival, whoâs determined to win the competition at all costs.

There are a few minor cautions for children: While this movie is wholesome and G-rated, it’s worth mentioning a few things⦠a teenage girl uses "Oh my G–" once or twice, Jesse Metcalfe and his son are still grieving the loss of their wife/mother while attempting to bond through this camp experience, and thereâs someone at the camp who is initially a bully, but eventually, this person has a change of heart and chooses kindness.

Towards the end of the movie, the children concoct a plan to give Adam and Monica some alone time together â to which Adam amusingly says something to the effect of â âDid our kids try to âParent Trapâ us?â Itâs a delightful nod to that classic Disney camp movie!

Overall, this movie is a pleasant watch that highlights family, friendships, forgiveness, and has a fresh summer feel!

A Week Away: The Series – Streaming on Angel Studios

And speaking of camp, I recently re-watched the camp series, A Week Away, that first premiered last Fall through Angel Studios, and I was once again struck by the deep, profound spiritual message in this series. Itâs basically a blend of Grease, High School Musical, and Camp Rock meets Church Camp!

The main storyline revolves around a foster teen named Max who arrives at camp very resistant to any message about Godâs love. Max has carried years of pain, disappointment, and unanswered questions. He’s joined by several other foster teens who grapple with similar wounds, asking the same question many believers have faced: Where was God when I needed Him most?

Itâs remarkable to watch as the walls theyâve built gradually begin to crumble. Each of them has to make an individual choice on whether to follow God. It takes some time, but as hearts begin to soften, bitterness gives way to forgiveness and healing.

The musical sequences are impressively staged. The choreography ranges from upbeat and energetic to emotionally intimate performances that actually deepen the story.

And while there are catchy and silly songs of Christian-themed pop and rock, thereâs also a deeply moving cover of Lauren Daigleâs âYou Say,â which I must say was done so beautifully as a duet with two of the show’s leads. Itâs my favorite song of the whole series, although many others are quite memorable, as well.

Carlos PenaVega (Mr. Manhattan, Get Him Back for Christmas) is brilliantly cast as Jeremy, the camp pastor, bringing relatability, humor, and steady spiritual guidance to the campers. His scenes with Max, the troubled teen, are truly inspiring and unforgettable. Alexa PenaVega (Before Your Father Finds Us, Get Him Back for Christmas) also makes a brief cameo appearance.

And many will likely recognize Leigh-Allyn Baker from the Disney show Good Luck, Charlie.

While there’s plenty of laughter, camp competitions, friendships, and even a few humorous pranks at the camp, the part I loved most was that the story continually points back to God’s unconditional love. It’s a great reminder that our identity isn’t defined by rejection, abandonment, or past mistakes, but by God who calls us
