SUMMER MOVIE: INDIAN SUMMER 🎥 Thursday, August 27th @ 7:00PM Indian Summer (1993) is a heartfelt coming-of-age comedy-drama about seven former childhood friends who reunite for a week at Camp Tamakwa in Ontario, Canada.

Rated: PG-13 Runtime: 1 hour 37 min. Trivia: 🎥Horror director Sam Raimi, who plays the character Stick Coder also attended this camp (Camp Tamakwa) as a child. 🎥The characters of Matt and Brad are based on the two Michigan-born founders of the Canadian clothing company "Roots". In real life, they actually attended Camp Tamakwa, which is a real camp in Ontario's Algonquin park, which is where the film was shot. QUESTIONS?
