Description: Content warning: White man in Hawaiian drag doing hula type motions.

At a lakeshore camp in summer, a large group of adults and children engage in theatrical crossdressing and stage a mock beauty contest. Members of the group also go waterskiing and fish the lake for trout and sturgeon. Possibly filmed in the Great Lakes region, though the film and its original container lack explicit geographical references.
