When a small kid is dropped off at a big, intimidating camp for the summer, he must earn the camp’s Medal of Courage so he can beat the odds and prove himself to the WORLD… or at least to his 6th grade class. Camp Courage is a story of how one unremarkable kid becomes the most celebrated hero of all time.
