Given a choice between juvenile detention and a summer at a Christian camp, a teenager on the edge of real trouble picks the camp in A Week Away, a family musical built around songs, faith, and second chances.
What is A Week Away about?
Will Hawkins is running out of options after a brush with the law, and the alternative he's offered is a week at a lively Christian summer camp far outside anything he's used to. He arrives an obvious outsider, unsure of the songs, the routines, or the community he's been dropped into, but the camp's mix of music, games, and daily ritual slowly pulls him in. A connection with one of the camp's regulars gives him a reason to stay open rather than counting down the days, and the friendships he builds around her start to reshape how he sees the place. By the end of his week, the camp that felt like a punishment has become something closer to the belonging he didn't know he needed, expressed throughout in musical numbers rather than plain dialogue alone.
About the cast
Bailee Madison and Kevin G. Quinn lead the film as the camp regular and the newcomer at the center of the story, with Sherri Shepherd, David Koechner, Jahbril Cook, Kat Conner Sterling, and Iain Tucker filling out the camp staff and fellow campers around them.
Context & significance
Director Roman White comes from a music-video background, and that sensibility shapes A Week Away's approach to its faith-and-summer-camp setting, treating the songs as the film's main storytelling engine rather than a decorative add-on. It sits in a small but steady lane of family-oriented musicals built around Christian summer-camp life, aimed squarely at viewers looking for lighter, values-driven programming rather than edgier teen drama. The camp setting stays warm and communal throughout, with conflict kept gentle and resolution never far away.
