~Lost? geT on the gridirOn~  ~ Most sixteen/seventeen year old kids, they make a bad choice. Something gets broken, they screw up in class, hurt somebody's feelings, show up at the prom drunk. They get sent to the Principal office, have their car keys taken away or get grounded. Then there's kids that make a bad choice, somebody ends up shot dead in a parking lot. Those kids get sent here. ~ Sean PortEr abOut caMp kiLpatriCk inspiratioNal muvees of diS kinD ofteN intriGue me. rememBer d titaNs, coacH carter, hard baLL, d miracLe. moST oF tHese muvees teLL a stoRy oF 'losT liVes', undyiNg efforT & cOmmitmenT to heLp transForm d liVes of otHers & beLief in one's oWn seLf. juveniLes senT to camp kiLpatricK, moSt of d youThs senT and detaiNed there are "losers" weN they caMe.
