The first of four story arcs where Calvin's family goes on a camping trip for a vacation.
Tropes
- Aborted Arc: See No Ending.
- Camping Episode: The first of four during the strip's run.
- Horrible Camping Trip: Not quite as bad as the following three (at least onscreen - the arc abruptly ended and the family suddenly was back home) but it's clear that the trip isn't particularly appreciated by most of the participants.
- No Ending: Unlike the following three camping trip arcs, this one ends abruptly, with the family suddenly being back home, with no strip detailing their return.
