The Pajanimals are excited - this weekend, they're going camping. That is, until Squacky, Sweetpea Sue and Cowbella learn that camping involves sleeping outside, and they're scared. Even their nighttime bath fails to calm them down, and they need some help. They have a nighttime visit to Otis and Jerry in the Friendly Forest, who tell them that they sleep outside at night every night. They have a lot of fun, playing with fireflies, and they remind the Pajanimals that even though they'll be outside, they'll be in a tent, sleeping with Mom and Dad. The Pajanimals are reassured that they'll have a wonderful adventure.

Apollo & Sweetpea Sue keep trying to out-do each other and Cowbella & Squacky are getting tired of their arguing. Sweetpea Sue manages to get them to stick to the plan when it comes to getting ready for bed, but the two nevertheless continue their game one-upmanship. The Pajanimals all visit the Land of Build-It, where the beavers Hank and Frank help Apollo & Sweetpea see that rather than trying to compete with each other, it's better for them to cheer each other's achievements.
