Story

The entire "Peanuts" gang faces everything from bullies to rampaging rapids. "Good grief", will you have fun!

The Peanuts gang, including Snoopy and Woodstock, have gone off to summer camp. After a few days of the usual activities, they all participate in a river-rafting race. Battling treacherous rapids, wild animals and cheating bullies from a rival tent, the teams make their way downriver to the finish line.
