So, when Stanley arrives at Camp-Bug-a-Boo, he creates quite a, well, stink! Everyone tries their best to put up with the unusual odor, but things don't go so well. But then God helps the summer camp to realize that the reason Stanley stinks is because he's afraid and the thing he is most afraid of is others not liking him and accepting him the way he is.
