"Safety first"...
that's my motto.
When one is doing
dangerous work,
one must pay careful attention
to the safety of one's body,
know what I mean?
Aah.
But one day,
I'll be a camp counselor,
and I'll be running this place.
I'll be shaping and molding
youthful minds
into a focused worldview.
Yep.
Ernest P. Worrell,
camp counselor,
an extraordinary thing
to witness.

Move quick. Move it.
Let's go, gentlemen!
Let's go!
Move it out!
Hey, fellas.
Welcome to Kamp Kikakee.
I've got everything fixed up
for you at the cabins,
know what I mean?
Well, look who's here, huh?
Just like old times, huh?
Yeah.
Remember all the fun
we had last summer?
right. What do you say?
Mm-hmm.
[Laughter]
My ha...
My ha...
my... ha...
my hand... hands!
You got a bad attitude,
son.
Let's go! Let's go!
Move it!

[Boys shouting indistinctly]
Straighten up these lines.
Come on. Let's go.
Men...
Welcome to another great summer
here at Kamp Kikakee!
[Boys cheering]
Right here
on this very ground,
Indians once tested
their young braves
and taught them the ways
of the forest.
And right here, you'll be
tested and taught, too,
just as they were hundreds
of years ago...
swimming...
fire building, cooking,
camping...
archery,
wilderness survival.
For those of you who accept
the challenge,
there'll be a ceremony
of the blade... the stone...
and the arrow.
All right, guys...
Let's go!
[Boys cheering]
Man:
Hup!Hup!
Hup! Hup!
Hup! And up!
All right, hit the deck...
push-ups.
Crank out 10.
Ready...

Morning, Ernest.
Oh, hi, Miss St. Cloud.
Um...
The sun rides high...
in... its path...
across the heavens.
Where... is the red...
chaise lounge?
Ernest, what I
came down here for is...
You know, engineering
your lifeguard stand
is an important business.
You have got to figure
your angles just right.
Course, I won't always be
One day I will be
a full-fledged counselor.
I have learned all the steps
in the path of the brave,
I have memorized
the handbook,
and I learned
the Kikakee sign language.
If only they'd give a fella
a chance.
I'm sure they will,
Ernest.
Nuh-uh.
But the real reason
I'm here
is to see if you've gotten
all your shots.
[Chuckles]
Shots?
[Chuckles] Yeah...
Okay.
How's that grandfather
of yours nowadays?
I haven't seen him around
lately.
Oh, he's out at his place.
He's so old.
his home.
Yeah, he's a wise man.
[Chuckles]
Doesn't believe in
modern things like... shots.
[Chuckles]
That's right.
He lives by the old ways.
In fact, he thinks I'm
wasting time studying medicine.
Shouldn't you, uh,
have a little more practice
before you go around
stickin' needles in people?
[Chuckles]
I've had lots of practice.
If I keep doing it,
I might even get good at it.
[Pop]
[Swallows]
See? A... cold, wet nose.
Color's good.
[Sniffs]
No fever.
[Chuckles]
Come on, now, Ernest.
You know this isn't
going to hurt...
much.
I can take it,
Miss St. Cloud.
Real men can take it,
and I'm a real man...
a man with a hearty smile,
a stout back...
with grit in his teeth
and nails in his knuckles,
a man who has never
tasted quiche...
Is that
your smallest needle?
I did it!
I took the Lindbergh baby!
I am Josef Mengele!
Owwwwww!
[Papers rustling]
Well, as you men know,
our camp's been selected
by the governor's staff
to take part in his, uh, program
for disadvantaged youngsters.
He calls it, uh,
"Operation:
Second Chance."Some camps have
all the luck.
And I just got notification that
the second-chancers are gonna be
ready to be picked up today,
and I wanted you guys
to be prepared for it.
Better hide
your wallets.
Yeah, and get out
your brass knuckles.
We're already short-handed.
How are we gonna handle
those delinquents?
Oh, they're not
delinquents.
They're just boys from
a bit rougher environment
than most of us.
You mean
underage criminals.
No, they're not.
They're all residents of
but they're not criminals.
Stennis, I'm gonna let you
be their counselor.
Why do I get stuck
with them?
Because you've got
the most experience.
Besides, after you get
to know those boys...
Oh, I'm not gonna take
any crap off of them.
