The Chalet Girls in Camp
Synopsis
Elisaveta Arnsonira, Crown Princess of Belsornia and first met in THE PRINCESS OF THE CHALET SCHOOL, is once again back in Tirol and staying with Joey, Madge and Jem at Die Rosen. As before Dr Tracy is the man behind the decision, proclaiming that "Veta" needs the open air treatment.
When the King of Belsornia comes for a short visit he not only gives Madge a fright by asking if Joey has been sick since she looks so delicate, but he also gives leave to his 'one and only' to join the Chalet School Guide Camp.
At the end of the summer holiday three charabancs containing about thirty excited girls and three cheerful mistresses set off to the Baumersee. Before them lie two glorious weeks of camp life.
No one under fourth form were allowed to join, much to the indignation of the younger girls, but the staff decided that the firebrands in the Quintette (Corney Flower, Evvy Lannis, Margia Stevens, Elsie Carr and Lonny Barkocz) were quite enough for anyone to cope with...
If the staff was hoping for a fairly peaceful time, they were bound for disappointments. Between the swimming, the firewood gathering and the singsong round the campfire their lambs find time to fall into pits, closely examine a hornets nest and even to insult their captain! Not to mention the shock they get when Grizel, Juliet and Joey accidently catch on to the secret of the lake...
