Plot

The interweaving plots of the story are based loosely on the plots of Baby-Sitters Club books #45 Kristy and the Baby Parade, #86, Mary Anne and Camp BSC, and Kristy's Book. The girls start a summer camp for the local children.

Kristy Thomas faces problems when she meets her estranged father (who abandoned her family six years ago), and faces a dilemma about telling her friends and family of this. Her best friend, Mary Anne Spier, is the only one she tells of the visit, and she too is under pressure as the curiosity of her friends grows. Claudia Kishi is stuck in summer school and is forced to retake a test, or face repeating a grade. Stacey McGill has a crush on a seventeen-year-old boy, Luca, who is the cousin of one of her baby-sitting charges. As their relationship ensues, she faces problems telling him about her diabetes and later, her age. This is revealed after a fateful trip to a New York City club, in which a bouncer does not allow her into a club because her ID is "missing". When a passerby spots her ID, Luca is outraged. Dawn Schafer must face her neighbour, who is increasingly upset because of the camp activities thar are taking place next door to her home. Mallory and Jessi had very small roles, and no plots of their own.

At the end of the movie, it is Kristy's birthday and she has arranged to go to an amusement park with her father. He is not present, and when she does not see him, she runs away with grief. It begins to rain. Meanwhile, the girls are having a birthday party for Kristy in Mallory's parents' summer cabin. They notice that Kristy is not arriving. As Kristy is walking alone in the rain, she sees her friends in a car (driven by Luca). They drive Kristy back into the shed. As Stacey is saying good-bye to Luca, he tells her that he will be coming to Stoneybrook again next year. "I'll be fourteen then!" Stacey tells him gleefully. Amusingly, this would never actually happen, as the age of the girls in the books was permenantly thirteen. The movie is resolved by the club giving the shed to Dawn's neighbour.
