Differences from the book

 * At the start, Arthur was getting on the bus with his friends from Lakewood Elementary School to go to Camp Meadowcroak; although in the book, the story started where Arthur didn't want to go to camp and commented it as "gross". The Girls had pull the prank on the boys after that they both went to war and girls always win. They decided to work together to win the Camp Meadowcroak trophy.


 * In the book, the girls' counselor was Becky who was very nice and gentle, and the boys' counselor was Rocky who was very strict and mean. In the cartoon, Becky was the only counselor, who again is nice, and was the counselor for both the boys and girls at Camp Meadowcroak.
