Elise, Lilly and Tommy are back for another musical adventure! In the summer of the 1980s when school gets out, they go to sleep-away camp at Coach Lana's Camp-For-All, along with Lilly's new mouse friends, Chester, Wilson, Ginger and Victor, and even her cousin, Garland! They roast marshmallows to cook up s'mores by the campfire, go on nature walks, fishing, swimming, games and even a talent show! But they have to stay away from Jan Avery. She is mean to them! Lilly and Tommy fall in love. Elise is so surprised and blushed because she could really never forget her best friend.
