Starring Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future) and Corbin Bleu (High School Musical), Camp Hideout opens in theaters nationwide this Friday, September 15th! Learn about this fun-filled film and enter to win free tickets awarded as a $50 Fandango gift card!

Synopsis:

When mischievous Noah (Ethan Drew) gets himself into trouble with 2 “bad guys” by accidentally stealing their property, he escapes to a summer camp. Little does he know this camp is run by the notorious Falco (Christopher Lloyd) and his dog Lazarus who both despise technology and have a short temper when it comes to children. Thankfully there are kind and optimistic camp leaders like Jake (Corbin Bleu) to help guide him and cheer him up. Although Noah is extremely pessimistic upon arrival, he begins to soften and create bonds with some of the other kids at camp. He learns some valuable lessons in integrity, faith, and friendship which is helpful when the bad guys show up looking for him and their missing item. The camp kids band together in a Home Alone style funhouse in the woods with boobie traps ranging from slick decks with zip lines at the lake to huts filled with bees. In the end, Falco steps up to help the kids and they all learn a valuable lesson in sticking together.

My Review:

Hilarious and heartwarming, Camp Hideout is an action-packed comedy that everyone in the family can enjoy. It follows Noah, a cynical, rebellious teenager who feels lost in the foster care system as he reluctantly joins a summer camp that turns out to be truly fun and rewarding. In this story of family, friendship and belonging, young viewers learn what it truly means to forgive and that it's never too late to turn over a new leaf and redeem oneself. It's extremely satisfying to watch the bad guys get fooled around and punished in unexpected ways while seeing Noah gradually open his heart to his new big family consisting of kind, sincere and supportive folks. This family-friendly movie will not only give you a good laugh but will also deliver valuable life lessons.

Camp Warner Bros Week 8: Family Matters Talent Show

We've got to the final week of Camp Warner Bros. Join us in a talent show to celebrate the digital release of Family Matters: Season 1 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.

About the Show

What matters most? Family, of course! Over its nine hit seasons, Family Matters brings us a hilarious slice of middle-class Americana - along with one of TV's wackiest characters, nerdy genius Steve Urkel. The extended Winslow family redefines the word "togetherness" as their home splits at the seams with chaos, confusion and laughter.

As one of the great 90’s sitcoms, Family Matters brought about a global phenomenon, where families gathered and laughed together around their televisions every Friday night. For nine seasons, the series lead character Steve Urkel was the neighbor that irked the Winslow’s, but families worldwide adored him! For our last week of camp, we would like to bring back America’s favorite geek and show how cool it can be to always be yourself!

Camp Warner Bros Week 7: Tom & Jerry Movie

Have you every been to a drive-in movie? It can be a lot of fun, especially for the kids. This week at Camp Warner Bros, the little campers are creating their very own drive-in movie experience at home. And the featured movie is Tom & Jerry Movie: The Fast & The Furry, now available on Digital, Blu-ray & DVD. 

 

About the Movie:

Tom and Jerry enter an extreme car race competition called the "Super Race" in order to win the grand prize of a beautiful, dream mansion! Driving suped-up hot rods that can adapt to any environment (land, sea or air), they compete in this wild race around the world, encountering famous landmarks along the way and leaving chaos in their wake.

As one of the best-loved cartoon duos, Tom & Jerry are so good at bringing back all those sweet childhood memories. My heart is filled with joy and excitement when I see that my kids love Tom & Jerry no less than I did years ago. I guess that's the power of a classic.  Just as its title suggests, Tom & Jerry Movie: The Fast & The Furry is fast-paced, action-packed and full of hilarious moments that are sure to bring out some good laughs from viewers of any age. It's the perfect pick for a relaxing family movie night.

Camp Warner Bros Week 6: Alex & Me

Many kids may find themselves spending more time in front of screens this summer. Physical exercise is all the more important to keep them fit and healthy. This week at Camp Warner Bros, let's watch a movie about sports and sportsmanship. Starring soccer superstar Alex Morgan, Alex & Me tells the story of a young female athlete who learns to overcome various challenges in order to achieve her career goal. The movie is now available on Digital, Blu-ray & DVD.

About the Movie:

Teenager Reagan Willis has one dream – to play soccer like her hero, Alex Morgan. Her bedroom is a shrine to all things Alex, including a life-size poster of the Olympic gold medalist. Yet in the Willis house, Reagan lives in the shadow of her prep football superstar brother, Logan. When Reagan fails to make the cut of the premiere local soccer club team and is humiliated by her rival Claire, she’s certain her ship has sailed. But after accidentally hitting her head, Reagan’s poster of Alex Morgan suddenly comes to life and everything changes!

The movie is very inspiring and uplifting. Through likeable characters and ups and downs in the story line, it teaches children valuable life lessons about perseverance, determination, commitment and kindness. It also encourages us to follow our passion and find self-worth in the process.

Camp Warner Bros Week 5: Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans

What happens when Teen Titans meet Teen Titans Go? For week 5 at Camp Warner Bros, let's find out the answer by watching the animated mash-up movie Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans, which is now available on Digital, Blu-ray & DVD.

About the Movie:

In Teen Titans Go! Vs. Teen Titans, the comedic modern-day quintet takes on their 2003 counterparts when villains from each of their worlds join forces to pit the two Titan teams against each other. When the forces of evil unite from across time and dimensions, it’ll take the combined efforts of distinctly different, yet similar Super Hero teams to keep the universe secure. They’ll need to set aside their differences and work together to combat Trigon, Hexagon, Santa Claus (that’s right, Santa!) and time itself in order to save the universe.

The movie is very funny and entertaining, with tons of jokes and goofiness that keep the kids laughing out loud. Fast-paced and action-packed, it can be enjoyed by fans of either Teen Titans Go or Teen Titans, or both.

Camp Warner Bros Week 4: Scooby-Doo!: WrestleMania Mystery

With the help of WWE Superstars John Cena®, Triple H®, Sin Cara®, Brodus Clay®, AJ Lee™, The Miz®, Santino®, and Kane® - Scooby-Doo and The Mystery Inc. gang team up to solve the case before it is too late!

Watch as Grizz, Panda, and Ice Bear catch the attention of the Department of Wildlife Control, and go on a wacky adventure as their world turns upside down, and the Bears are left with no choice but to go on the run!

About the Movie:

10-year-old Billy Batson shouts a single word and, with lightning bolts flashing, he transforms into Shazam!, a full-fledged adult Super Hero. It doesn’t take long for Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman and the rest of the Justice League to take notice and invite the earnest do-gooder to join the team. But to become a member, Billy must reveal his true identity. While fighting off the evil Mr. Mind and Black Adam, Billy learns that he must trust others – and that nothing creates trust like helping those in need. Join the good fight with this giant-sized LEGO DC adventure!

This movie nicely combines some of kids' favorite elements, including not one, or two, but an army of popular DC Super Heroes, along with familiar LEGO figures. The story is heartwarming, uplifting, and exciting, enriched by fast actions, funny moments and likeable characters. Everyone in our family enjoyed watching this movie.

To add fun to movie-watching, Camp Warner Bros provided virtual Super Hero Training to bring out the passion, patience, listening skills, and fun in all of our Super Hero campers.

He offers training tips with fun games for our campers including, “Batman Says,” “Super Hero Freeze,” “Memory Challenges” and more!

STEM Learning Made Fun at Snapology & LEGO Set Giveaway

If you have a child in school, you are probably familiar with the acronym STEM, which stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. The importance and necessity of STEM education have been widely acknowledged among parents, teachers and education experts, for STEM is closely linked to every aspect of modern life while STEM education helps develop transferable skills that are essential in both STEM and non-STEM fields, such as creativity, communication, critical thinking, problem solving, and data analysis. Due to the complexity and difficulty of STEM subjects, there is a misconception that STEM learning is intimidating and frustrating. In fact, however, STEM learning can be nothing but fun and can be accomplished through various activities, including PLAY!

STEM Learning Through Toys
Making learning fun and enjoyable is the key to nurturing the love for knowledge. The number of educational toys that promote STEM-related skills is on the rise. You may already own such toys without realizing their connection to STEM education. Well loved by both boys and girls, LEGO bricks are known to stimulate creativity, spatial thinking, problem solving and teamwork. There are also STEM certified toys that are specifically designed to integrate play with STEM learning.

STEM Learning Through Books
Wouldn't it be great to encourage your child to fall in love with reading and STEM learning at the same time? Luckily, there are quite a few well-written books that teach STEM subjects in fun and engaging ways for students at different stages of learning. Some of our favorites include the Magic School Bus series, the Little Scientists books, and DK's awarding-winning new release Maker Lab.

STEM Learning Through Hands-on Activities
Children learn fast and best through hands-on activities. You can try to come up with DIY projects at home or send your kids to more structured STEM programs like those being offered at Snapology. Rated one of the Best Kids' Franchise, Snapology discovery centers provide hands-on, interactive activities for children ages 1-14 using LEGO® bricks, K’Nex and technology.
