Camp Runamuck - Season 1 (1965)

Tired of bad camp food, the men buy a cow to kill and eat, but have trouble after getting too attached to it.

Doc Joslyn has a cold and the counselors plus camper become concerned over his doctoring methods.

When news of an approaching hurricane the staff at Runamuck and Divine try not to panic. The normally competitive groups join together to prepare for the storm.

Wivenhoe is worried about camp attendance and schedules a photographer to take photos of happy boys. But as the shutterbug is due to arrive the camper's pet turtle expires. A reptile funeral is scheduled with clergy officiating.

As one group of boys finish their stay, the councilors prepare to enjoy some off time. However, a storm leaves them camp-bound. They spend their time reading books that inspire daydreams, and we see Spiffy in a cowboy shootout, Wivenhow encountering space aliens, Doc in a WWI fighter plane, and Pruett meeting Amazon cannibals.

Steady rain seemingly cancels Parent's Day, but when one camper's parents arrive they struggle to entertain them.

Short of money, the camps decide to let some of their counselors go. But, with an upcoming inspection they resort to desperate measures to meet the mandated counselor/camper ratio.

Constantly aggravated and feeling he should have a better job, Spiffy decides to quit.

While Spiffy begins working in his uncle's antiquated business, the men at Camp Runamuck finds he was what held them all together.

The girls at Camp Divine pretend to be sick to get the boys to do their chores. It works temporarily but when the male campers figure it out they decide to get revenge.

The girls at Camp Divine don't understand why they are banned from Wivenhoe's new swimming pool.

Commander Wivenhoe is very excited that the latest model of an automobile that he ordered is arriving. But once his staff gets involved his plans for a big day take a bad turn.

Little Maureen hates the feminine pastimes at Camp Devine, and sneaks over to Runamuck to join in the male events, disguised as a boy. She's caught and sent back, but she keeps coming back until they make the boy's camp unappealing to her by pursuing girl activities like knitting, fudge baking and artistic dancing. Unfortunately, the camp examiners choose this moment for an inspection.

To get his flabby, uninspired staff into shape, Commander Wivenhoe hires "The World's Champion Camper", one Arnold Benedict, to do the job. unfortunately, he turns out to be a dictator and relentless, insufferable perfectionist, causing more discontent than ever.

Commander Wivenhoe makes a bet with the Camp Divine women that he and his staff can stay on a crash diet longer than they can.

One a hot day, both Camp Devine and Runamuck councilors have a chance to cool off with an air conditioner, but a battle ensues over which camp will get to use it when.

Pruett eats some of Malden's mushroom souffle and then falls seriously ill. He becomes convinced he has been poisoned by the meal.

The girls from Camp Devine use their feminine wiles to coax the Runamuck councilors into building them a new dormitory.

Just as the Commander issues stock in the camp to the counselors. they find it's being slowly destroyed by a termite infestation. They also find that an exterminator charges too much, but Caprice thinks she knows a way they can do the job themselves for cheap. Unfortunately, her chemical mixture instead causes the camp to physically shrink to doll-house size.

Spiffy seems to be in constant conflict with the women at Camp Divine. He decides to study Oriental philosophy as way to find inner peace but his co-workers find it odd.

Malden falls in love and the rest of the camp should be happy for him. But Malden's cooking has taken a turn for the worse so the staff schemes to return things to the way they were.

During the off season, Commander Wivenhoe decides the only way he can make money is to turn Runamuck into an old folk's retreat.

Spiffy and Commander Wivenhoe decide that it might be a good idea to teach the boys a civics lesson in the form of an election for Commander. The whole thing goes wrong when the boy that's elected becomes a dictator, removing and jailing the adults.
