Judging by the projects she’s been working on lately, Jennifer Garner is really into camping these days. Shortly after starring on Lena Dunham’s TV show Camping, the Golden Globe-winning actress landed the lead role in Fantasy Camp.

This promising musical comedy is the brainchild of Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein, who also co-wrote and directed I Feel Pretty, starring Amy Schumer. The list of their writing credits also includes romantic comedies Never Been Kissed and How to Be Single.

Their next project, Fantasy Camp, will center on a middle school teacher Julie, played by Jennifer Garner. After years of dreaming of a career on stage, she decides to join a Broadway performing-arts camp for adults.

Garner is attached to several projects right now, including family comedy Yes Day and TV show My Glory Was I Had Such Friends. They’re all still in the process of pre-production and are yet to set an official release date.
