Welcome To Camp

Freshly ousted from her rock band, Nomi takes a last-resort job from her best friend Mara at their childhood Jewish summer camp. As camp director Mara contends with a busted septic system, she tasks Nomi to supervise a group of outsider teens called the floaters.

When their rival camp—led by Mara and Nomi's nemesis Daniel—issues a high-stakes challenge with prize money on the line, Nomi pushes the limits and loses Mara’s trust.

Now, Nomi and the Floaters must overcome their differences and outperform their rivals to keep the camp alive.

Framed through multigenerational perspectives, this offbeat comedy captures the rich diversity of a Jewish summer camp and explores the conflict between leaving one’s mark and building connection.

Directed by Rachel Israel, this spirited film celebrates authenticity and warmth, painting a vibrant portrait of modern Jewish life.

It’s about bonds forged in shared struggles, identity discovered in unlikely friendships, and strength found by embracing exactly who you are.

The Floaters showcases K180’s commitment to storytelling that resonates, steering clear of clichés to offer something memorable and deeply meaningful.

'The Floaters' Brings Jewish Summer Camp Joy to Theaters

Get ready for a quintessential summer movie. Hitting theaters July 10 via Brainstorm Media, Rachel Israel’s The Floaters brings a much-needed dose of authentic, joyful Jewish storytelling to the big screen. It’s a comedy squarely focused on finding your people and fighting for your community.

Why Jewish Screen Stories Need More Joy

Rachel Israel urges a new wave of Jewish storytelling that balances historical trauma with onscreen joy. Citing classics like Dirty Dancing and her own summer camp comedy The Floaters, she calls for authentic, multifaceted portrayals of Jewish life — full of humor, passion, complexity, and community.

The Floaters Brings Contemporary Jewish Camp Life to the Big Screen with Authenticity and Heart

This feature explores how The Floaters breaks the summer camp mold by embracing Jewish identity without dilution. Director Rachel Israel and the Korman siblings ground the film in lived experience—from the casting of Jewish actors to filming at a real Catskills camp. The result is a coming-of-age comedy that celebrates difference, connection, and contemporary Jewish life with joy and specificity.
