The boys can only watch from the shore as the handicapped kids paddle around in boats and enjoy all the fun activities at the camp.

The boys soon learn that the new camp counselors are Jimmy and Timmy, two of their handicapped friends. The boys are excited to see their friends in charge and decide to support them by volunteering at the camp. However, they quickly realize that they have taken on more than they can handle when they are put in charge of the most rambunctious cabin of handicapped kids.

Meanwhile, Kenny has been hired as a counselor at a nearby rival camp called "Camp New Grace," which is just as strict and boring as it sounds. Kenny is determined to make the most of his summer, but his plans take a turn when he is forced to compete against the Lake Tardicaca campers in a series of ridiculous challenges. The prize for winning? A golden paddle, which is the ultimate symbol of camp supremacy.

As the competitions heat up, tensions rise between the handicapped kids and Camp New Grace, and the boys of South Park get caught in the middle.
