* WritersCannotDoMath: Muffy and Francine try to teach Buster basic division with a bag of double-dip peanut fudge pieces, knowing what a BigEater Buster is. There are twenty pieces, and Buster is able to successfully divide them by two. Francine asks Buster to divide them by three, which he initially gets wrong resorts to just snacking on the peanut fudge pieces. Twenty cannot be divided evenly by three, and remainders are not so much as mentioned in this episode.

Arthur was counting on that, since he said they needed it to be dark enough.

* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Happens when Arthur attempts to tutor Buster at the park. Buster gets more interested in the baseball game going on, and ends up arguing with the umpire.
Added DiffLines:
* BlandNameProduct: Buster practices multiplication and division when studying for the test on his own using [[Advertising/MAndMs B&B's candy pieces]].
* BrickJoke: When passing back the kids' math quizzes at the start of the episode, Mr. Ratburn tells Arthur he needs to "review those multiplication tables". At the end, [[spoiler:when Arthur gets his test back, Mr. Ratburn reveals that he didn't do very well on the division portion, suggesting that math is not one of Arthur's best subjects in school, though he does fine in the other subjects.]]
* HeldBackInSchool: Buster fears he may have to repeat the third grade if he can't get at least a "B" on the big test. It's also revealed that Binky is being held back in Mr. Ratburn's class, and he tries to assure a hopeless-feeling Buster, "Third grade's a lot easier the second time around... or the third."
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:When Mr. Ratburn passes back the graded tests, including Buster's well-earned B+, he tells Arthur that he didn't do very well on the division portion of the test, and suggests maybe Buster could tutor him a bit in division.]]

Added DiffLines:
* NotAllowedToGrowUp: Even with Buster in danger of being held back in third grade [[spoiler:but passing]], it's clear the writing staff were no idea the show would go on to be such a LongRunner (25 seasons as of this writing) and so the children would be kept at the same age and grade no matter what throughout the series.

Arthur's not looking forward to going to Camp Meadowcroak for the summer, figuring it will be horrible, and the boy/girl rivalry going on there especially doesn't help. But can Arthur eventually convince the boys and girls to call truce and work together in order to defeat the bullies of rival camp Horsewater at the scavenger hunt? Based on a book of the same name by Marc Brown.
!!Arthur Goes to Camp! contains examples of:
* AdaptedOut: The book had the boys get a DrillSergeantNasty male counselor named Rocky, while the girls got a nice female counselor named Becky. In the book, Rocky does not appear, and Becky is the sole counselor for both genders.
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the original book, the boys and the girls at Camp Meadowcroak turn out to be mistaken when they figure each group played pranks on the other, and then learn the campers from Camp Horsewater were responsible for the pranks all along. In this episode, Binky plans to prank the girls, and the girls prank the boys before they all find out the kids from Camp Horsewater are much nastier.
* FurryConfusion: As part of the plan to defeat the Camp Horsewater kids at the scavenger hunt, the Meadowcroak kids have "The Brain" pretend to be [[BearsAreBadNews a wild bear]] [[PaperThinDisguise by wearing Muffy's fur coat with his head hidden under the collar]], while "The Brain" already ''is'' a bear! (The fact that he's a PettingZooPeople bear person, like Arthur being an aardvark person and Buster being a rabbit person.)
* GirlsVsBoysPlot: A main plot point. Arthur disapproves of Binky's plans to prank the girls until the girls prank the boys back. A heated rivalry develops, with Arthur writing home "Dear Mom and Dad, it's war!" They stop feuding when they realize the campers from neighboring Camp Horsewater have been pranking them all, and Arthur gets them to reluctantly call truce.
* MickeyMousing: The animation of Arthur and Buster paddling in the canoe race appears to be animated to the beat of the background music's bridge sequence at that part.
* OffModel: Counselor Becky's wristwatch keeps switching arms in different shots.
* OpposingSportsTeam: Camp Horsewater.
* CampingEpisode: Also doubles as a boys vs. girls plot.
* SummerCampy: Arthur figures Camp Meadowcroak will be like this, and it turns out to be somewhat like this at first, but is [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when the boys and girls learn of Camp Horsewater pranking them all, and manage to successfully make the best of them at the scavenger hunt.

Buster's not doing very well in Mr. Ratburn's class, often goofing off instead of studying, falling asleep in class, and flunking quizzes and tests. If he can't get at least a "B" on a huge upcoming exam Mr. Ratburn will be giving reviewing everything the class had learned that year, he will be held back in the third grade. Now Arthur and his friends all have to work together to tutor Buster into being able to pass the test, and if that doesn't work, can Buster be able to study on his own?

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: When Arthur reads Buster ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' for the English portion of the test, he compares Alice's short attention span to Buster.
* WritersCannotDoMath: Muffy and Francine try to teach Buster basic division with a bag of double-dip peanut fudge pieces, knowing what a BigEater Buster is. There are twenty pieces, and Buster is able to successfully divide them by two. Then Francine asks Buster to divide them by three, and he keeps getting it wrong to the point where he just start snacking on the peanut fudge pieces. The truth is, twenty cannot be divided evenly by three, at least without a remainder.
