The Island Camp

A group of siblings prepare to host two scout cousins and run a holiday camp on a wooded river island, arranging overnight stays and learning self-reliance under a trusting mother. They anticipate outdoor games, scouting activities, and curiosity about a family mystery surrounding their ancestral house. Plans are disrupted when one cousin arrives visibly ill and the other unwell, provoking fears of an infectious disease and sudden quarantine; adults summon a doctor while the local children shelter and help from the island, balancing eagerness for adventure with concern and responsibility.
