* Do Pennington and Brooks bully the second chance kids just because they are bullies, or do they see them as easy targets because, with them being juvenile delinquents, they figure they can provoke the boys into fighting and the staff would likely believe whatever they say over what the second chance kids say? Additionally, did Pennington accidentally leave his canteen (with his name on it) by the teepee they set on fire, or was it intentionally left there as a calling card (and done to provoke them into fighting them so they can be kicked out of camp, as the canteen could be explained as circumstantial evidence)?

** Two bullies at the camp pick on the boys (and to a lesser extent Ernest) in a few ways, but really cross the line when they set their teepee on fire.

* JerkassWoobie: Stennis, the first camp councilor assigned to be in charge of the boys. He's a bit of a jerk to them, and during swimming class, upon learning Moose can't swim, he picks up and drops Moose into the water, simply saying he'll learn "the Stennis way", but then the boys push him into the water, injuring him to the point that he can no longer be their councilor.
