Summary
Buster is fearful of attending summer camp without Arthur or anyone else he knows, but discovers making new friends isn't as difficult as he thought.

Plot
Buster is going to Camp Meadowcroak, but unfortunately he is the only one going since his friends are going to be busy. Soon Buster is nervous about going to camp and when the bus to the camp arrives he runs off to the public garden to hide.

After talking with Fritz and his mom eventually finding him minutes later, Buster decides to go along and gets onto the bus. At Camp Meadowcroak as Buster is checking out the inside of the cabin one of the kids who is named Irwin walks into to the cabin and introduces himself to Buster.

Soon after another kid named Sanjeev walks into the cabin and Irwin knows the kid and Irwin tells Buster they both go to the same school. At lunch Buster opens and envelope and decides to tell both Irwin and Sanjeev the story about Fritz when he was a kid, which takes place in the summer of 1932.

After telling the story to the two boys Buster eventually ends up telling the story to virtually everyone at the camp during the night. Everyone who heard the story liked it and Irwin then hands Buster a marshmallow that was being cooked on the campfire.

Buster tells Irwin it wasn't bad, but tells him to try a different stick and Irwin writes that down on a notebook. The next day Buster is walking back to the cabin with a box and shows both Irwin and Sanjeev what's inside, which are tomatoes.

The two boys are a bit confused as to what Buster plans to do with them and Buster tells them to get various supplies. After Buster is done he has made what he has called the Tomato-wich. While Irwin and Sanjeev are eating Sanjeev tells Buster that he will now be known as Chef.

Buster then arrives back home and says goodbye to the kids, which also say goodbye to him. Buster then goes over to the garden to see Fritz who is all dressed up.

He then asks the Fritz why he is wearing it and Fritz responds that his daughter and him are going to a retirement community. Fritz tells Buster he will check on the garden once a month and before Fritz leaves Buster asks for the address of the retirement community.

Buster then writes a letter and sends it to Fritz who reads the story to the other elderly folks. One of the elderly men states Buster has quite an imagination and Fritz tells him he's also a very good gardener.
