Four years after successfully navigating their daycare business and sending Harridan away, Charlie and Phil embark on a heartfelt trip down memory lane with their children, Max and Ben, to Camp Driftwood, the very summer camp where the two friends enjoyed carefree moments back in 1977. Upon their arrival, they are shocked to discover that Driftwood has fallen into disarray, losing its former luster and charm. Determined to restore the beloved camp to its glory days, Charlie and Phil strike a deal with the young man who inherited it after the original owner and counselor vanished on a 30-year vacation, leaving only bus driver Dale behind.
