About THE DOCUMENTARY

  The high rock is a feature length documentary about a beloved summer camp.  Spanning decades and generations, the film explores our connections to nature and our bonds with one another. It’s a story of discovery and a trip back to that brief period in all our lives – the precious liberated summers of youth.

The Story Behind the Documentary

In 1989, I sent my kids to a two week summer sleep-away camp.  In a way,  this documentary started the day I picked them up from camp.  They were so happy and invigorated when they returned that I was a little  mystified.  Why were they happier at camp than at home?  I felt I needed to answer this question.  I took many trips to the camp, eventually  bringing along a crew to document and explore the camp’s allure.  My  hope is that this documentary will remind us all what it is to be young  and outdoors, thereby safeguarding the experience for future  generations.     

~ Ellen Moore, director
