The kids return to Camp Lone Wolf, where last summer they suspected Mr. Jenkins was a werewolf.  Camp Lone Wolf is in ill repair and Coach Ellison is taking them there for a week-long nature trip, ending with a rowing competition against the kids from nearby Sheldon City.  Their rowing instructor is a stocky man with a long black beard and bright pink sunglasses.  His frizzy black hair is tied back in a ponytail with a purple bandanna and a silver earring dangles from his left ear.  His name is Captain Teach and his parrot is named Long-Tongued Jack.  They learn from another student named Carey that the Bailey Bank is going to take over the camp and sell it to the Mega-Mall Development Company.  The kids think that it would be a shame to tear down all the trees in the camp.  The kids race a pirate and search for pirate's treasure!
