It's going to be a November to remember.
But for now, let's get on with the show.
Woo! get the best actor award.
Oh yeah, definitely Ronnie the stick bug.
She fools me into believing she's an actual stick every time.
Uh, Mindy, what are you doing?
Oh, I'm just planning out the end of the week awards for our bug campers.
They all get one.
Oh, okay.
Can I help?
Yeah, sure, Guy Raz.
Go ahead and read the next award.
Okay, most likely to succeed.
Hmm, who should get that one?
Oh, that's got to go to Jared the housefly.
No matter how many times you swat him, he just keeps coming back.
Right.
Next up is best dressed, but...
Bugs don't wear clothes.
I know, but some of them are still fashionistas, like Veronica the tiger, swallowtail butterfly with all of her stripes.
Okay, Veronica the swallowtail butterfly.
Okay, I think that about does it.
Wait, we assigned all of the awards that fast?
No, but Mindy, there have to be a thousand awards here.
Do we really need to give every single bug an award?
Hey, no bug left behind, Guy Raz.
But we'll be here all day.
No bug left behind.
Let's go.
Camp WeWow is an awesome place.
Physics, biology, and outer space.
Science explorers with our headquarters.
Oh, Dennis.
Here at Camp WeWow.
Okay, that's enough.
Hey, G4s.
All right, follow us.
Welcome back for our very last day of bug week at Camp WeWow.
I'm your camp counselor, Guy Raz.
And I let a family of bugs sleep in my bed last night.
Ugh.
I mean, I'm Mindy, and we've got some bonker balls things planned for today.
But first, we have a special announcement from Dennis.
Ahem.
Yes.
Thank you, Mindy.
Attention, campers.
It is I Dennis, former bug hater, come to renounce my ways, recognize that I may have been slightly vocal about my opposition to insects of all kinds.
Slightly vocal?
But after meeting and speaking with Armando, the vegan anteater, I've realized the error of my ways.
Bugs, I'm sincerely sorry for the way I treated you.
And so, to show that I really mean it, I have decided to allow a family of lice What?
No, Dennis, lice do not belong anywhere in this camp.
No, Guy, they do belong.
Oh, no.
As someone who once feared the winds of change I Dennis, have boldly and bravely and courageously thrown my kite into the air and am now sailing through the clouds of transformation.
Also, my head is real itchy.
Thank you, Dennis.
We are so proud of your commitment to change.
In fact, we have a special award for you, Most Improved Camper.
An award for me?
Oh, I don't know what to say.
Let me just gather my thoughts here for a moment and... Oh, wait, what's this?
Why, it looks like a prepared speech that I typed up just last night.
Okay, fine.
I won't read it.
Thanks for the award.
Bye.
These laces are so itchy.
Welcome to the Camp Wee Wow Canteen.
Your number one supply store while you're home away from home.
Looking for a refreshing $8 can of warm soda from 1982?
Well, we got you covered.
Or how about a half-melted, half-eaten bar of chocolate I found lying in the nature hut?
I'll sell it to you for just four bucks.
Or maybe just stop by for a tube of Grandma G-Force's special homemade sunscreen.
Just $17.99.
What?
It's just mud.
Wow.
That sounds like nature's way.
Well, sure, I guess.
Not convinced?
Why not?
Just ask one of our best customers what he thinks of the Camp WeWow Canteen.
The canteen isn't the best store I've ever been to, but it's the only store at camp.
I'd give it 2.5 stars.
Also, who greenlit this commercial?
I'm not paying for it, Tommy.
We don't have the budget for some... Wow.
2.5 stars.
Not too shabby.
And if termites could talk...
They'd be raving about our delicious salad bar.
Not the salad part, of course.
The actual bar itself.
It's made of old rotten wood and the bugs just love it.
So, come on down to the Camp Wee Wow Canteen and see what all the fuss is about.
There's a warm old soda here with your name on it.
Actually, I just drank the last one.
That'll be eight bucks.
What?
Eight dollars? a ripoff.
Boo.
Camp WeWOW will be right back.
Grownups, this message is for you.
Hey, grownups.

Back to camp.
Campers.
It's the last day of Camp WeWow for this week, which means that we're sharing around the campfire.
And this week, we asked you to share some of your favorite memories of Camp WeWOW so far.
Or a story about a time where you were surprised by finding a bug in a place where it definitely shouldn't have been.
Campers, take it away.
Hello, my name is Claire.
I live in Athens, Georgia, and this is my story.
One time, I was in my classroom and there was a roach on the ceiling.
And I'm so scared of roaches that I yelled, Roach!
A few seconds later, it fell from the ceiling onto the floor and ran across the classroom.
Sorry.
One of my classmates ran over and squished it, and that was the end of that.
Now I'm even more scared of roaches.
Hi, Mindy.
Hi, Guy-Log.
My name's Dweka.
And my name's Lizzie.
And we live in Dallas, Texas.
And the thing we want to share at the campfire is we weren't.
Our dad was barbecuing the other day and we were in the pool and we got up and Naveen thought he found.
What did you think he found?
A praying mantis.
And I checked it out, and it was a praying mantis.
And it was really, really cool and it was brown and we looked it up and it said that it was not an adult.
It said that it was shedding its brown skin, and it was really, really cool.
Just wanted to share that with you.
Thank you.
Bye.
Bye the world.
My name is scarlet and i come from mansfield, texas.
My vow in the world is that some dragonflies have tiger stripes on them.
Bye, i love your show.
Hi, my name is hazel um and my name is edmund, and we live in maryland.
And a time a book surprised me was when i was at sleepover camp There was a cockroach and a frog in the shower.
One time a bug surprised me was when a wood beetle was in the park.
Bye.

I love the beetles.
They're my favorite song artists.
