synopsis
The setting is Camp Firewood, the year 1981. It's the last day before everyone goes back to the real world, but there's still a summer's worth of unfinished business to resolve. At the center of the action is camp director Beth, who struggles to keep order while she falls in love with the local astrophysics professor. He is busy trying to save the camp from a deadly piece of NASA's Skylab which is hurtling toward earth. All that, plus: a dangerous waterfall rescue, love triangles, misfits, cool kids, and talking vegetable cans. The questions will all be resolved, of course, at the big talent show at the end of the day.

Camp Firewood director Beth (Janeane Garofalo) is saddled with the task of keeping her wayward, sex-obsessed counselors in line at the same time she's falling for an astrophysics professor (David Hyde Pierce) who is convinced SKYLAB is about to crash-land on them. Meanwhile arts and crafts teacher and soon-to-be-divorcée Gail (Molly Shannon) is a despondent mess but finds solace at the hands of one of her students. Counselor Coop (Michael Showalter) is way into Katie (Marguerite
