Overview
When four young campers make a dangerous mistake in Pine Ridge Forest, Smokey Bear must teach them the skills—and the science—they need to prevent wildfires and become true forest heroes.
Four kids head into Pine Ridge Forest expecting a weekend filled with marshmallows, hot dogs, and outdoor adventure. What they do not expect is a surprise visit from the legendary Smokey Bear! After a careless mistake nearly leads to disaster, Smokey steps in to teach the campers the essential C.A.M.P. skills every outdoor adventurer needs to help keep the wilderness safe.
With guidance from Smokey and the wise, magical Elder Tree, the kids explore the science behind wildfire prevention.
