Surrounded by counsellors who relate to them, queer, non-binary and trans teens get to experience the joy of being kids in a supportive camp in rural Alberta.

Barry Hertz

Globe and Mail

Director Jen Markowitz’s film arrives like a cozy fireside chat: tender, caring and warm. There are no political agendas here, only an honest portrait of kids being themselves.

FilmWeek (LAist)

It goes back to the whole idea of inciting compassion... A force for good, and a well-made documentary.

That Shelf

Directed by Jen Markowtiz, Summer Qamp most effectively serves as an introduction to Camp fYrefly, but more importantly, it offers an introduction as to why queer and trans youth would find value in such a space.

As they capture candid footage of these initially shy kids opening up and making friends with others, one would have to be a Grinch not to have their heart melted.

Rated: 4/5

Alan French

Sunshine State Cineplex

The joyous and free-flowing film does not push too hard on its subjects, instead letting them lead the narrative throughout the summer.

Rated: 6/10
