Camp... Without the Camping

I am laughing out loud as I’m writing about the 1993 classic film “Addams Family Values.”

Though not a traditional summer camp movie, it has all of the traditions of summer camp including the first love (which I also experienced with a boy nicknamed Monkey) and the pageants—which character Wednesday deftly derails.

You don’t have to go to camp to experience the ups and downs of summer camp. Best part? No bug spray needed.

There are many more movies that are all about camping and fun in the outdoors. Here is a list of the top camp movies for your next rainy afternoon.

The Parent Trap (the 1961 original) is not included in that list, but absolutely should be. Who ever has seen both the original and 1998 remake starring Lindsay Lohan, let’s get together (ya ya ya), and discuss.
