Tripper is the head counselor at a budget summer camp called Camp Northstar. In truth, he's young at heart and only marginally more mature than the campers themselves.

There were a lot of cringe parts within, especially the way they talked about/to women. Side note .. Wheels is Todd Hoffman from Gold Rush. Holy shit. Just seeing that here now.

Are you ready for the birds and bees, the leaves and trees, and a whole lot of fooling around?
