Roger McPaw, a young Raccoon, is very excited about his first time at summer campand also nervous. Will he like being away from home? Will he be able to make friends? And, to make things worse, Roger has enough trouble marauding at home that hes not sure he can do it on his own to earn a merit badge.

At Camp WannaTippaTrashCan, all kinds of adventures await that are beyond anything Roger had imagined. He meets lots of Raccoon kids just like him, and together they shout camp cheers, weave baskets, and tuck and tumble for nighttime marauding missions. As the week goes by, Roger begins to conquer his homesickness and discovers the mysteries of the camps complicated history with Humans. During his adventures, Roger befriends a homesick Human boy who helps him pull off the best marauding mission ever. Just like his dad always said, If youre going to do something totally crazy, it must also be totally brave.

By the end of the week, Roger cant wait for his next chance to return to Camp WannaTippaTrashCan. But, will Roger ever see his new Human friend again?
