Proverbs 6:16

16There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:

Proverbs 6:18
18a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil,

Philippians 4:8
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Plot

Connie-goes-to-camp.png

After getting fired from her job at Whit's End, Connie decides to be a counselor at Camp What-A-Nut. She writes to her mother about the camp and the unusual activities that have occurred there during the past week. First, in her cabin are Lucy Cunningham-Schultz, Donna Barclay, Robyn Jacobs and Alison Leskowsky. Each has her own little quirk — Donna and Robyn love clothes and makeup, Allison is addicted to TV, and Lucy makes friends with a rebellious girl named Jill.

Meanwhile, the boys — Jimmy Barclay, Jack Davis, and Oscar Peterson — give athletics a bad name by severely botching both archery and canoeing, much to the dismay of their counselor, Fred Zachary.

Later, when the girls go on a nature walk/camp out, Jill persuades Lucy to sneak away-something that is strictly against the rules — to see a beautiful waterfall and a herd of wild horses. That night, the girls bed down in their tents. Donna and Robyn complain about the dirt, bugs, and rain, while Allison continues to bemoan her lack of TV. Suddenly, they hear strange noises outside. The girls are instantly terrified. Allison makes things worse by telling stories of "the Goat-Man," a supposed monster that roams the territory. The noise moves closer until it's right outside their tent. Something lifts their tent flap. The girls scream in terror.

This plot section is too short and should be expanded. »

Discussion Questions

  1. Connie gave Lucy and Jill a warning the first time they disobeyed. How many “second chances” would you give someone who disobeyed?
    • Are there times when it's appropriate to punish without first giving a warning?
  2. Donna and Robyn were obsessed with makeup and clothes, while Allison was addicted to TV. Do you have any obsessions that you need to let go of?
    • If so, what are they?
  3. Lucy said she was sorry for hurting Connie. What did Lucy mean by that?

Alison Leskowsky: You can't do this to me! It's unconstitutional! It's cruel! It's unusual punishment! Please, no! Give me my TV!

Connie Kendall: Oh, I forgot to tell you—I talked to the camp director, and he thinks you're right. The girls should be given a chance to compete with the boys at some things.
Robyn Jacobs: Really?
Connie Kendall: Yep, so tomorrow afternoon we're gonna compete with them in archery, canoes, and a relay race.
Donna Barclay: That's great.

Robyn Jacobs: AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

Fred Zachary: Hey Oscar!
Oscar Peterson: Yes?
Fred Zachary: What are you doing?
Oscar Peterson: Trying to... fit the arrow in my bow...
Fred Zachary: Well it helps if you keep your eyes open!

Jimmy Barclay: Mr. Zachary, did you see that? I almost made it to the target!

Jimmy Barclay: Wow! Great idea!

Alison Leskowsky: No... a copy of last week's TV guide.
