About This Book

A light two-act comic play follows a group of young campers and their adult chaperone as they prepare for and receive a prim elderly visitor and her niece. Episodes mix everyday camp chores, playful gossip, a letter-delivery bit, and escalating comic situations that culminate in costume-based gags and misunderstandings. The text supplies detailed stage directions, scenery and prop suggestions, and optional musical numbers and drills, giving amateur performers guidance to emphasize physical comedy, ensemble singing, and the contrast between lively camp life and the visitor’s strict fastidiousness.
