## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A summer camp somehow found itself in orbit and no one panicked. Five campers and one over-prepared counselor float into space during a test run and must land the ship themselves. If the premise sounds like it was pitched at 3am the special effects were definitely conceived then too.

**Mood tags**: cozy, playful
