in the school auditorium. In addition for saving Chet and the kids lives the Paley’s are awarded bravery medals by the Scoutmaster for good acts of service to their fellow campers. All of the dad and sons including Chet applaud Spencer and Michael. Spencer and Chet reconcile with a handshake, with Chet telling Spencer even though he has the personality of a wimp, he can see Spencer in fact is not and is brave. Spencer initially attempts to respond sarcastically but refrains and tells Chet he understands why the trip was so important to him and that it is now just as important to him and Michael to which Chet says he is glad Spencer has come to this realization. Spencer makes a joking complaint about the camp’s scrambled eggs and he, Aaron and Chet share a final laugh before returning home. Upon returning home Michael tells Donna about the events of the weekend but she doesn’t believe either her husband or son. Michael is disappointed he cannot convince his mother but Spencer reminds him that they know what really happened and to be happy for what they accomplished. Michael is then sent to bed happy because of his weekend experience. Spencer thanks Donna for making him go on the trip, and tells her he wants to do scuba diving and bungee jumping but Donna tells him to not get overwhelmed with new ideas because he goes overboard with them. She tells Spencer they will discuss more outdoor activities in the morning. Spencer smiles at the sight of his son sleeping and turns out the lights to his bedroom and the film ends.
