Freshly ousted from her rock band, Nomi takes a last-resort job from her best friend Mara at their childhood Jewish summer camp. As camp director Mara contends with a busted septic system, she tasks Nomi to supervise a group of outsider teens called the floaters. When their rival camp -- led by Mara and Nomi's nemesis Daniel -- issues a high stakes challenge with prize money on the line, Nomi pushes the limits and loses Mara's trust. Now, Nomi and the Floaters must overcome their differences and outperform their rivals to keep the camp alive. Framed through multigenerational perspectives, this offbeat comedy captures the rich diversity of a Jewish summer camp and explores the conflict between leaving one’s mark and building connection.

It has an appealing Jewish neshama (soul) that peeks out from under the surface of an uneven but often funny (and occasionally touching) story. Go to Full Review
Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Sep 3, 2026
This is a reasonably hip movie to, say, take your 13-year-old niece or nephew to. It’s a little rude at times, but not really. And as most summer camp experiences tend to, it all ends in hugs and positive lessons learned. Go to Full Review

I'm the target demographic for "School of Rock" at a Jewish summer camp. It doesn't work. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
The summer camp genre is as old as Moses, but faster than you can say "Meatballs" this one has the twist of focusing on Jewish youth. It's the same bullies, geeks etc. and is so Jewish it's practically lifted on a chair and sung Hava Nagila to. Go to Full Review

2/4
Anytime The Floaters deals specifically with the unique qualities of a Jewish summer camp, it's engaging and I may have even learned a thing or two. Go to Full Review

7/10
The writers/producers did attend Jewish summer camp like one fondly, enjoyably portrayed. Alumni bring their kids. Despite flashy bits/cameos by familiar Jewish males, focus is on two alumna, still BFFs. Refreshingly, schmaltz & nostalgia are mocked. Go to Full Review
