Un gruppo di bambini con grossi problemi di peso arriva a Camp Hope per passare le tanto attese vacanze estive. Per loro sfortuna nel campo adiacente al loro si trovano dei bambini magri e muscolosi. All'inizio questi ultimi, forti della loro agilità, prendono in giro i rivali per farli sentire, in qualche modo, inferiori a loro. Poi mano a mano che i grassi e i magri fanno conoscenza scoprono che non vale la pena prendersi in giro. Cominceranno a fare gare e tornei per cercare di stabilire la supremazia di un gruppo sull'altro.
