Jim explored, and quickly found,
a very suitable campground,
beneath that big tree will be cool,
right next to a bathing pool.

From choosing the perfect campsite and hiking through the wilderness to splashing in mountain pools and navigating unexpected surprises, the gang quickly discovers that camping is both exciting and full of important lessons about teamwork, safety, and being prepared.
