AUGUST 2008–On location at Camp Maple Dell in Payson Canyon outside of Mapleton, Utah, the sun beats down on the cast and crew of Scout Camp. Everybody is either golden brown or bright red, depending on how much sunscreen they’ve used over the sixteen day shoot. While some crew members are prepping a shoot that will require about twenty kids and six adults to perform various scouting cheers, director Garrett Batty is shooting scenes with actor Jeff Blake, who must exit an outhouse. Over and over. (Don’t worry, the outhouse is fake.)
Scout Camp is the comedic story of a group of teenage boys who go to scout camp to prove to themselves what they are made of. But when one of them unknowingly takes the ancient Spirit Stick from the camp, the boys must work together and put the Indian heirloom back in its rightful place.
