The trailer, which released today with the poster, shows a glimpse of the action as Will Hawkins (Quinn) sets foot into a church camp for the first time and meets a new crush (Madison). It\u2019s not an ordinary camp, however, as the counselors and campers burst out into songs and choreographed dance moves. Think \u201cCamp Rock\u201d meets \u201cI Can Only Imagine\u201d with a soundtrack of reworked contemporary Christian music by for KING & COUNTRY, Amy Grant, and Michael W. Smith. Using Quinn from Disney\u2019s \u201cBunk\u2019d\u201d and Madison from \u201cBridge to Terabithia\u201d and \u201cWizards of Waverly Place\u201d will appeal to the younger set, but the preview also shows acting veterans Koechner (\u201cThe Office,\u201d \u201cAnchorman\u201d) and Shepherd (\u201cThe View,\u201d \u201cSherri\u201d) mixing it up as camp leaders. Where do I sign up for this camp?<\/p>\n

The official synopsis follows:<\/p>\n

Troubled teen Will Hawkins (Kevin Quinn) has a run-in with the law that puts him at an important crossroad: go to juvenile detention or attend a Christian summer camp. At first a fish-out-of-water, Will opens his heart, discovers love with a camp regular (Bailee Madison), and sense of belonging in the last place he expected to find it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
