A "camper" (usually a counselor acting like a small five year old) and a counselor walk on stage. The camper has a few random things. You can have a bag full of them, or just a few either way works well. But the items must be totally random, like a 9-volt battery, a ping-pong paddle, a yellow pages phone book, all kinds of things will work, basically anything that has nothing to do with camping. The camper holds these things through out the skit. Additionally you will need to put a real tent or even just a chair that is a "tent" will work.
They make small dialogue of how camp will be fun and exciting making sure that the camper acts as much like a five year old as possible (sqeeky voice or kid voice helps a lot). Finally the counselor says we are ready to go camping. They quickly "hike" to their spot and start to get ready when the counselor notices that the camper does not have a tent. He asks about the stuff that the camper does have and he rattles off the random purposes for each of the non-camping items. Finally the counselor says "so you forgot your tent?" the camper can either cry or get upset here. Finally the counselor says well you can just sleep under the stars tonight which satisfies the 5 year old camper and he goes to sleep.
Two to five other people come up dressed like "ganstas", but look rediculous, they have to act like serious gangsters but look really ridiculous. Their dialogue revolves around the fact that there is some guy on their turf which is the camper. So they "beat him up" by fake kicking him and such.
The camper screams for his counselor as well as yelling while getting beat up but is too asleep to see what it was that actually beat him up. When the counselor arrives from his tent/chair the camper says he was attacked by a random animal (anything will do but it must be an animal that wouldn't be out in the woods, like a zebra or panda bear). The counselor assures the camper there are none of that animal in this part of the world and that it was just a nightmare, he then convinces the camper to go back to sleep.
This sequence then repeats itself with the gangsters still upset that somone is on their turf etc. The camper uses a different animal and then begs the counselor if he can stay in his tent for the rest of the night the counselor agrees and the camper is excited.
In the last sequence the gangsters come up again and are about to beat up the counselor when one of them says, "you know we have been beating on this guy all night long, let's go get the guy in the tent"
they take down the tent and beat the camper again where he screams "I hate camping" and runs of the stage.
