Dawn is very frustrated with Heather still introverting.
She’s not rude, she just doesn’t want to talk. She’s just different from the
other girls. You ought to respect that, Little Miss Individual.
Their counselor gets some bad news, her mom is sick and she
has to leave right away. They’ll get new counselor the next day, but until
then, Dawn is in charge. And their overnight camping trip will go on as
planned.
Poor Stacey. She’s stuck in the infirmary, with a whole list
of issues. She’s got poison ivy, pinkeye, a cold, impetigo, and a bunch of
insect bites. But her diabetes is under control, so that’s good. And she’s got
a cool roommate, Miko, a fellow CIT with a broken leg.
Kristy is still dealing with Charlotte and her homesickness.
She cries over everything. But she’s enjoying the rehearsals for their dance.
Kristy, however, is not enjoying herself getting ready for the CIT dance. The
other CITs “experimented” on her, with makeup and hair, in preparation for the
dance. And she ended up “not revolting”. But it made her feel like a fake
Kristy.
Claudia’s campers have found out the name of her mystery
guy, Will Yamakawa. That means he’s Japanese, which will totes please her
parents. They also found out he’ll be at the movie night. So Claudia gets
half-way dolled up (she’s saving the special look for the dance), and they head
over to the boys’ side. She finds Will right away, and introduces herself. He’s
happy to see her. They sit in the back and talk, but they get in shushed, so
they go outside to continue. Claudia learns his grandmother lived with his
family, and he was very close with her. She recently dies. Foreshadowing. Boo.
Dawn cabin gets their new counselor, Debra, who’s only
fifteen. So a fifteen-year-old and two thirteen-year-olds lead a bunch of
eleven-years olds out into the woods for their overnight. Debra gets them lost
pretty quickly, and they never find their correct campsite. But Heather has all
sorts of tips and ideas, and nobody freaks out. They spend the first night in a
clearing, and then wander around lost the entire next day, accidentally making
it back to the clearing for the second night. The next Heather asks if she can
please be in charge, and she gets them right back to Camp Mohawk. She gets an
award for bravery. Dawn bitches that they all should have got one, but concedes
that Heather deserved one the most.
While the other girls have more respect for Mary Anne now,
they still test her. They say they want to pierce her hers, and she gamely goes
along with it. They gather up all the supplies, and are about ready to do it,
when the other girls chicken out. Mary Anne is relieved, and can’t wait for
them to meet Logan at the dance, to prove he’s real.
It’s finally the night of the dance, and everyone gets to
see that Mary Anne and Logan are in fact a real live couple, and neither of
them complete dorks. And Mary Anne does nothing embarrassing. Logan was a bit
worried.
Claudia has her super romantic night with Will at the dance.
They end up going outside to talk again. They realize they’ll probably never
see each other again. They both cry when it’s time to leave, but they don’t
exchange addresses or phone numbers. They just leave it as a two-day romance.
Kristy gets all made over for the dance by the other CITs.
And then she’s all nervous about going. Of course, once she goes to leave,
Charlotte starts crying. Oy. But she actually ends up having a pretty good time
at the dance. And Charlotte lives through the evening.
Stacey is finally allowed to leave the infirmary on Monday
of the second week, and is able to keep herself out of anymore sickness related
trouble. Her side of the cabin gets “Christmased” by the other side, and it
sounds pretty cute.
Remember that Jessi and Mal were at camp as well? Yeah, I’d
almost forgotten, too. So the dance/skit that they came up with for their girls
is a not-so-subtle way of getting back at their racist bitch bunkmates. They
have Becca and Charlotte playing twins, who get picked on, but learn to trust
one other girl. Most of the racist bitches apologize at the end.
And of course we have a letter-writing epilogue. Turns out, Claudia’s
campers figured out a way to get Will’s address, so they do actually end up
writing each other. A lot, apparently, although we never hear about him again,
except I think maybe in passing a
time or two.

Is it campsight or campsite? Spellcheck agrees
with me, campsite. But the book says campsight, multiple times.
o
In a postcard to Ashley, Claudia remarks that
Will is a funny name. What? Since when?
