Tacky and his fellow penguins are off to summer camp in Nice Icy Land to enjoy themselves while Rock Hopping, Line Dancing, and playing Capture the Ice Cube. One night, they gather around the campfire to sing, eat s’mores, and tell scary stories. But after going to bed, something straight out of one of their scary stories pays the sleeping penguins a visit. Goodly, Lovely, Angel, Neatly, and Perfect think they should high-tail it out of there, but it is Tacky—with some unexpected heroics—who saves the day.

Includes lyrics to the official Camp Whoopihaha song!

Tippy Canoe and Tacky Too. But the best activity of all came one evening. It was Sleep Under the Stars Night. The penguins gathered around the crackling fire and sang the camp song*: We're penguins—we cannot ride horses Because our legs weren't put on long. But other than that we're perfection— Just hear us as we sing our song. Whoopi, Whoopi, Whoopihaha ho-ho hee-hee Whoopi, Whoopi, Whoopihaha ho-ho.
