A middle-aged man's manipulative father 'kidnaps' him on a disastrous camping trip meant to fix their relationship.

SYNOPSIS:

We only know him as ‘Dad.’ He’s lonely and feels unappreciated… so he concocts a plan. Dad tells his son, Jon, he’ll need a ride back from a specialist doctor. It’s only after they’ve driven a couple of hours that Jon learns Dad is taking him out into the middle of nowhere to re-create a camping trip from 25 years ago.

Unfortunately, Jon’s been given an important project at work, one that is due on Monday. That doesn’t matter to Dad. He’s not turning around.

Everything goes wrong… as these trips do. Camping with Dad explores the breakdown of the adult parental relationship on the most American father-son experience.
