Now, we've worked out a schedule
of competitive sports...
...to sort of get the chinks out
of the winter fat.
We'll start with a little competition
with the girls across the lake.
We're gonna indulge
in a little swimming race with them.
And I don't want you guys
to show them up too badly.
Swim steady,
but don't make them look too bad.
After all, boys are stronger.
LUCY:
After we arrived,the first thing those boys did...
...was issue us a challenge
to a swim meet.
Remember, swim to the float and back.
First kid back wins for his tent.
Ready, set...
...go.
Come on, team.
Team.
Team, come on.
Come on, team.
[ALL CHEERING]
Well, troops, that was a sorry performance
this morning out on the lake.
But we won't let it discourage us.
It isn't like we lost a ball game
or something really important.
It's like we had a disaster.
At any rate, I think we can look forward
to a hearty lunch...
...and then a rousing softball game.
Perhaps we should seek revenge
for this morning's fiasco...
...by challenging the girls' camp
to a softball game.
[ALL CHEERING]
Ten-hut!
Right face.
Boy, I like summer camp.
It's the next best thing
to being in the infantry.
Forward march.
Hup, hup. Hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup. Hup, hup, hup.
Column right.
[YELLS]
[ALL GRUNTING]
Quit pushing.
- Quit pushing.
- All right, everybody, move it along.
[FLATLY]
Hup, hup, hup.
CHARLIE:
Well, here I am standing in the chow line.
What's your name, kid?
Charlie Brown.
Hey, get a load of the kid
with the funny name.
Ugh.
Aah!
Aah! Aah! Aah!
Where on earth is Snoopy going?
He's gotta eat. Who's gonna feed him?
LUCY:
The first day went well...
...we beat the boys
across the lake in the swim meet...
...and then we were challenged
to a softball game.
Peppermint Patty was our captain.
Eagle claws.
Okay, Chuck, we'll take our ups-to-bat.
Eagle Claws?
- You guys shag them for us.
- Eagle Claws?
PATTY:
This is the way we'll do it, gang.
Violet, you bat first.
Pop one up and over third base.
Lucille, here,
will single over the second baseman's head.
Don't hit the ball near that shortstop.
Frieda, you'll bunt toward first base
and beat it out.
This means we'll have the bases full and
I'll come up and smack a grand slammer.
If we keep the ball away
from that funny-looking kid at shortstop...
...I think we can stay at bat all afternoon.
LINUS:
The worst was yet to come.
It was bad enough to have been
so thoroughly thrashed in softball...
...but there were plans
for a nature hike the next day.
The campfire activity
was a dismal failure.
