The kids on the other hand have invented a super new game : at meal time, they bet their deserts on snail races!

Today's activity is going to be 'let's change roles !'. | Bryan puts paint in Ignatius's whistle. When the superintendent uses his whistle to call the kids, he ends up spraying paint all over his face. Super annoyed, Ignatius storms out of the camp and heads into the forest to meditate.

Suddenly, the wind disappears causing the kite to hurtle down to the ground. While searching, the kids discover a big rock wall with what looks like a door carved into it. Now this is quite a revelation: the wind in the valley is in fact just a breeze provoked by a crack in the door... the Wind Door!

Something bizarre is going on. Anf that means BIZARRE! A giant bubble has settled over the camp, preventing anyone from leaving. Floopaloo must be behind this!

A solid lump of earth that suddenly starts moving - acting like a new-born animal! And apparently, the lump is convinced that Matt is Mommy!

Annette has disappeared! Beryl and Ignatius are in a state of panic when the kids discover strange footprints near her cabin... They hope it is not the 'Grumpy Moaner', a creature that haunts the forest. Lisa rolls her eyes: a mysterious creature that haunts the forest, doesn't that remind you of anything?! The Grumpy Moaner is what the adults call the... Floopaloo! |The kids find a compass among Beryl's old castaways.
