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. Tripper befriends Rudy, a loner camper who has trouble fitting in. As Tripper inspires his young charges to defeat rival Camp Mohawk in the annual Olympiad competition, Rudy plays matchmaker between Tripper and Roxanne, a female counselor at Northstar.

A 6 year old camper brings a pet frog to camp. When he shows it to fellow campers he thinks it's sleeping, but it is dead. This isn't treated in a nasty way, as the adult assures him it maybe is sleeping and he will take care of it. Just don't know what the point of it was. There are no other animals in the movie.

While the movie was made in the US where the nickname of one of the characters (“Spaz” apparently because he is clumsy) is not typically known as a derogatory term, it has an ableist origin and is very offensive in some places.

The rival camp is named after a native American tribes and their cheerleaders dress as such and carry tomahawks, which is controversial today, but this was made in 1979... Also, a gay slur is used.

But there is a super creepy looking quasi clown like painting/figure on the outside wall of a cabin in one scene and this isn’t explained at all. It isn’t part of the plot

This scene is somewhat played off for laughs. They don’t really explain it but later in the movie it’s suggested that these two characters have an on again/off again or will they/won’t they type of relationship. The man lunges at the woman several times, very quickly and hard to the point he slams into the wall when she moves, he eventually grabs her and pins her down, she says no multiple times very firmly, and looks somewhat scared at moments. In the end someone else walks in and the man pretends the woman attacked him. It can be very upsetting to watch for those affected.

There is talk among the boys of which girl "wants it", and how far they got when alone with a girl, but nothing happens. Two counselors have sex in the woods in the dark, but nothing is shown, just their clothes scattered around after, and then they go skinnydipping, but there is no nudity. A female counselor reads an erotic book aloud to her friends. Girls talk about getting their period and argue about when it is possible to get pregnant.
