Bookroo's summary

The Alden siblings arrive at Camp Seagull, eager for fun and the camp Olympics. But chaos ensues: lost luggage, a missing flag, and stolen ideas. As tensions rise, they must uncover if someone is sabotaging the games. Can they solve the mystery before the final event, or will the cheaters prevail?

From the publisher

The Boxcar Children are going to summer camp and are looking forward to a week of new friends, exciting activities, and, most of all, the annual camp Olympics. As soon as camp begins, everything begins to go wrong for the Aldens–they lose their luggage, the camp flag disappears from Henry’s cabin, and campers on the other team use one of Jessie’s ideas to score points for themselves. Are some campers so desperate to win the Olympics that they are willing to cheat?
