Camp Mannuppia is a safe haven for “effeminate men” although it is disguised as a masculinity camp from the outside. When two new campers, one of which is assigned female at birth (AFAB), and discovering their gender, come to camp looking for “masculinity”. They try to make their own program to make themselves, “real men”, to the disappointment of the returning campers and flamboyant camp counselors. When disaster strikes, the campers have to team up to save the day. At the end of the show it is revealed that the campers are performing the past weeks event to their parents to show them what the camp is and who they truly are.
