Jake Sherman is a normal not so ordinary boy. Maybe it's because his teacher made a machine that switches bodies. Or because she uses the machine. Whatever it is, Jake and his friends Josh and Andy are happy to be away from it.

Jake wants to try going to summer camp with his best friends for the first time. At the camp bus stop , Jake's mom sees her friend Mrs. Peeling. Her son Peter is also going to summer camp,so the moms expect them to be friends. Jake thinks Peter doesn't look "cool" so he doesn't want to be friends with him. Then Jake sees some "cool guys" playing basket ball. When the summer camp bus comes,The cool guys get on the bus and go to the back. Jake wants to sit with his friends,but they're sitting with Peter, so he sits with the cool guys in the back.

Jake learns that they were called Rick,Zack,and Dan. Jake quickly falls asleep when he wakes up , the cool guys call him Sleeping Beauty.  They are at Camp Walton. Peter's bag splits and shows his WaterPik. He explains it is for his gums, but the cool guys call him Gummi Bear. Jake then discovers that Zack,Rick ,Dan ,and Peter are in his cabin . Zack and Dan share a bunk,Rick and Jake ,while Peter and another boy named Lewis take the bunk nearest to the counselor. Then Zack challenges Peter to tether ball. Zack has the advantage because Peter doesn't Know what tetherball is. After Zack wins they head for lunch. Zack tells Jake to put plastic wrap over Peters glass . When Peter asks for bug juice, the juice splatters all over Peter because of the wrap. After lunch was a movie. The cool guys along with Jake  sneak out to pull springs out of Peters bed and put detergent in his WaterPik.

After the movie was dinner. Then they washed up and got ready for bed. When Peter was using his water pik, his mouth was full of foam. When he got into bed the bed curled around him. Peter was sent to another cabin to spend the night.

When Jake woke up, he was on a bus! That couldn't be right! Zack started saying the same things as yesterday! Then he realized that he was doing the first day of summer camp again. When he did the first day of school over and over, he went to the second day, when he was nice to every one .(on his sixth day of the first day.) This time he knew he had to be friends with Peter. So that day he spent it with Peter standing up to the cool guys. After the movie Jake fixed his and Peter's beds and ruins Zack and Dan's and adds water balloons. But when he wakes up, he is on a bus!

Jake was doing the first day of summer camp for the third time! Since he didn't know what to do, he spent the day with Lewis. He makes this group that will help protect him against the cool guys. He convinced Lewis and Peter to join the group. After the movie, they catch the cool guys and try to blind them. But Zack finds out who they are, and about to finish them when Rick joins Jake's side. Then Zack doesn't  want to fight . When Jake wakes up the next day, he is on a bus!

Jake was doing the first day for the fourth time! Jake didn't get off the bus. His dad came to pick him up. That night Jake slept in his bed. But he woke up on a bus.

That day at summer camp Jake tried to do everything right. He taught Peter how to defend himself . He got Rick and Lewis to join his group. That night he went to bed feeling good . But then he realized what he hadn't done for the last 4 days. He got up and out of bed. And brushed his teeth. When he woke up, he was in his cabin. He had made it to the second day of summer camp!
