Despairing over the fact that Beaver (Jerry Mathers) and Wally (Tony Dow) spend all their weekends at the movies, Ward (Hugh Beaumont) insists that the boys start enjoying the virtues of the great outdoors. He goes so far as to plan a weekend camping trip for himself and his sons -- only to pull out at the last minute when he has to put in overtime at the office. Undaunted, the boys proceed with the outing, pitching their tent in their own backyard -- and learning a few painful lessons about camping out during a rainstorm!
