Description
Carrie says she'll organize everything for a camping trip if only her mother will take her and her brother and their best friends for a first-ever night in the woods. Once they arrive at the campground, they find out Carrie forgot to pack the food. Mom leaves the kids to figure out how to pitch the tent, make a fire and entertain themselves.
