About the Film:
THIS MUSICAL SERIES follows a group of teens as they embark on a summer at Camp Aweegaway — a Christian camp filled with adventure, friendships, and unexpected self-discovery It’s an expressive and resonant story about identity, trust, and the courage to face what’s within. A Week Away: The Series offers a tender space for those burdened by doubt and pain to explore the possibility of hope and the power of a found family.
The story follows a defiant foster teen who is dragged to church camp, determined to resist what he sees as the hollow promises of faith. But rejection gives way to introspection, and the walls he’s built begin to crack. As he discovers he’s not alone in the struggle against grief, anger, and the ache of belonging, he learns that healing can’t be forced— it must be chosen. A Week Away: The Series is fun and engaging, safe for family viewing, and honors faith-based principles without being a ‘lesson in Christianity.’
My Review:
This TV series has been compared to High School Musical and Camp Rock but with a Christian theme. I loved the High School Musical movie series and Camp Rock and thought they were excellent and had wonderful dancing songs. Christians get ready because we finally have a TV series that will compare to them. The director is Alan Powell and he was the star in The Song. Fans will recognize Leigh-Allyn Baker from Good Luck Charlie, Carlos PenaVega from Big Time Rush, David Koechner from Anchorman, and Antonio Cipriano from Pretty Little Liars.
The TV series continues the story from the Netflix movie but with different characters. Like the movie there is tons of singing and even a remake of Amazing Grace and a popular Veggies Tales song cover. There are constantly church challenges and group competitions to compete against each other to see who will win. A lot of the message of the film is asking the question why we are here and what is our purpose. We see how a foster kid struggles with love and accepting what this church camp is about and more importantly what God is about. There is a redemption story that will later become back of his testimony. The film touched on pain and why God allows bad things to happen. There are also funny things in here such as the Who song and if God is for us who can be against us. People will laugh at this catchy saying and song. He ends this talent show with a power song about what we are made for and how we are made to love. I liked how there was a wide mix of emotional people will feel while watching this. It’s super safe for teenagers and even little kids. It really is safe for the whole family. This will have people clapping along and wanting to join in on the finale. The dancing was very energetic and the singing were fantastic and will make you want to get up and join in. It might even inspire you to go back to church and go on a church retreat or a camp.
