Ernest P. Worrell, a lanky, lovable "nerd," is the hero of this wacky, sidesplitting comedy. The handyman at Kamp Kikakee, Ernest (Jim Varney) achieves his greatest ambition and becomes a camp counselor — to a gang of juvenile delinquents from the Midstate Boys Detention Center! Not only must Ernest wrangle the wayward youths, but he has to save the camp from the ruthless clutches of a giant mining company, too. The comic pandemonium is wildly funny and totally unpredictable when "Ernest Goes to Camp"!
