Let's go with a variety pack here:
Early Bill Murray in Meatballs. Bill plays the head counselor in a summer camp.

80s teen cheese in the movie Space Camp. Teens spend their summer at a Nasa promoted summer camp. During a shuttle engine test, a group of teens accidentally get shot off into outer space. Great young cast too: Tate Donovan, Kelly Preston, Lea Thompson, Joaquin Phoenix. Also Tom Skerritt and Kate Capshaw. And like any good 80s movie, it has a talking robot.

Horror: any of the Friday the 13th movies. Pick your favorite.

90s teen comedy: Eurotrip.

Dirty Dancing. The one that women and girls never skip by when it's on TV. However, the TV version cuts the best parts. (Patrick and Baby in the cabin)

Dirty Dancing was one I was waiting for someone to post.

I've never seen Side Out, that will definitely be on my summer watch list.

I'll add 2 more to the list:

Hardbodies I thought it was worth watching once, but it's not my favorite. It's supposed to be a fun crazy story about guys at the beach trying to get chicks.

Hot Pursuit One of my favorites. A college kid island hops around the Caribbean trying to catch up to his girlfriend and her family.

Killers of the Flower Moon should come out this summer huh? Also Nichols Piillegi wrote a screenplay about Vito Genovese and Frank Costello and for some unknown reason De Niro is playing both characters. Not sure how that is going to work. I thought it said this summer or early fall but I could be wrong on that.

ETA: disregard I misunderstood, I thought this was movies coming out this summer or close to it, not summer movies.

Dazed and Confused is my go to summer movie.
