The Classroom: When Nature Calls, Hang Up!

A documentary crew has descended upon Westside Middle School to detail the life of an average seventh grader named Trevor Jones and his classmates. 

The one-on-one interviews, film footages, and camp journals will chronicle the dangerous and highly awkward overnight field trip to Camp Whispering Pines. Trevor Jones will have plenty to worry about: snakes, bears, dining halls, and eighth graders. To make matters worse, Trevor is paired with a special "sensitivity buddy"-longtime frenemy Corey Long.

It's possible that with a lot of luck (and a little help), Trevor Jones might come out of this trip alive. If he can survive Corey Long and the outdoors, he may finally have a chance at being epic.
