“Therapy Camp” is an animated satire of Christian reparative camps, as seen through two perspectives:
Three children campers, who attend the camp to be cured of different “sins”: NEVE (atheism), THEODORE (obesity) and MARCUS (perceived homosexuality).
The charismatic REV. JEFF DAVIS, JR. III., who cares more about the financial success of his camp than the spiritual success of the campers.
It’s “South Park” meets “Jesus Camp.”
