It is the hottest part of the summer, and the family heads to the mountains for a much-needed camping vacation. Rooster, who loves the outdoors, and Squid, who despises anything without air conditioning, are along for the ride. The camping trip offers fun and adventure until the unthinkable happens...Jes is lost.

Rooster and Squid must brave the elements with the help of the park ranger and his laid-back Saint Bernard to save the day. Rooster and Squid pass along important tips about motion sickness, cataracts, feeding table food, skunks, porcupines, and recommendations for camping with your pets.
