Empire, 10/19/2007, 93, 4 stars out of 5 -- "Funny, sad and horrifying. Anti-fundamentalist rather than anti-Christian, this deserves to preach to more than just the converted."
Box Office, 10/01/2006, p.37, 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Ewing and Grady cover the proceedings thoroughly....What the viewer primarily takes away from JESUS CAMP is the triumph of nurture over nature."

An unusual summer camp is the focus for this documentary from filmmaking team Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady. The North Dakota camp teaches kids Christian values, and the filmmakers show how they try to integrate these beliefs into their young lives.
