Rosco the Rascal Goes to Camp

Ten-year-old James and his seven-year-old sister, Mandy, are off to summer camp with their loyal German shepherd, Rosco.

While Mandy struggles with homesickness, James’s week is threatened by a prank-playing bunk mate whose antics keep causing trouble.

But as camp activities lead up to the biggest event of the week—the giant game of capture-the-flag—things take a serious turn during an unexpected thunderstorm. When the troublemaker ends up lost and alone in the woods, Rosco must come to the rescue.

Along the way, James, Mandy, and Rosco learn that camp is about more than fun and games—it’s also about courage, teamwork, and the hard-earned lessons of friendship.

A warm, fast-paced camp adventure filled with outdoor fun, friendship lessons, and one unforgettable dog.
