Trouble ensues once the previous owners declare bankruptcy and are bought out by a fitness guru named Tony Perkis. Tony is a fitness fanatic who makes it his goal to whip these overweight kids into shape. Tony ends up making Camp Hope almost unbearable by forcing the campers to participate in demanding exercises and low carb diets. Eventually they decide that they have been put through enough, and these underdog campers ban together to rebel against Tony Perkis.
