Magic Camp is officially rated PG. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 6+.

Magic Camp is a family-oriented comedy centered on Andy Duckerman, a struggling magician who returns to his childhood summer camp as a counselor to mentor a group of novice performers. The film received its PG rating primarily for some mild rude humor and light competitive tension between student magicians. Parents…

There is no explicit sexual content. The film concludes with two teenage campers sharing a brief, innocent peck on the lips.

There is no physical violence. The only conflict is stylized competition and a scene where a student burns another student's magic cards, which is portrayed as a mean-spirited act of bullying rather than realistic violence.

Language is very mild. A single instance of 'Oh my G-d' occurs, and there is some occasional rude humor typical of middle-school comedy settings.

None. There is no drug, alcohol, or tobacco use depicted on screen.

The story deals with the grief of a young boy, Theo, who is coping with the recent death of his father, as well as themes of social alienation and stage fright.

Magic Camp runs 100 minutes, directed by Mark Waters, released in 2020.
