WIN OR LOSE: A SUMMER CAMP STORY
Highland Park Movie Theater
445 Central Ave
Highland Park, IL.
Sunday May 31st 2009, 11am & 12.15pm

The director and members of the documentary cast will be present for a Q&A after each screening.

The film is a character driven, documentary about boys at summer camp who push themselves to win an ultra competitive event called ‘Collegiate Week.’

During Collegiate Week, every person in camp wants nothing more than to win the first place trophy. Unfortunately, most of them won’t. They may leave camp without a trophy but do leave having learned a valuable lesson: how to lose. Almost all the campers that attend this camp come from the northern suburbs of Chicago such as Glencoe, Deerfield and Highland Park.

Some camps have color wars but Camp Ojibwa has Collegiate Week. It is the end-all be all of camp color-wars. There is nothing like it. Run of the mill nice kids have been known to trash their second place trophies. Older campers lose their head over a shuffle board match. Counselors will break down and cry like babies. Will an ultra competitive winner like Arob learn something about losing? And Charlie Schroeder has never won collegiate week in 9 years. Will he be able to handle another defeat? Then there is the young Jeremy Nachbar. This is his first year as a camper but he’s already giving pep talks just like the older guys. How much will camp change him? By the end of camp one thing is for sure, out of the 12 teams there will be one winner and eleven losers. Competition at Camp Ojibwa teaches kids how to lose. It’s a hard but important lesson to learn.
