In the premiere episode, the Ross kids arrive at camp. The camp's owner, Gladys, is even scarier than the legendary creature that's rumored to stalk the grounds. With the help of her sneaky niece Hazel, she's out to get the Ross kids because of her decades-old rivalry with their mom.

The Ross kids leave their New York penthouse and return to Camp Kikiwaka for the summer where to their surprise, find an unexpected camp addition and the Woodchuck cabin’s new startling counselor.

Returning to camp, the campers find some changes around them.

Because Emma, Zuri and Ravi have new jobs, their mother wants to sell the camp. Worried that Lou will be devastated when she finds out, the three tell it her on a balloon ride.
