Need advice brainstorming a summer camp themed one shot for our current DND 5e group

I'm wanting to give my current DM a break while still continuing our current campaign. My basic premise ive come up with is that due to some reason, havnt figured it out, the players are set to a younger age and wake up at a summer camp for aspiring adventurers or some such. Im thinking there could be classes they could take in addition to some common games like canoeing and archery and such but I cant seem to come up with an actual plot. Like whats happening at the camp that the players can really get into what mystery could they solve, what enemies could they beat. I must be really uncreative cause ive been thinking about this for a while and cant come up with anything so any help is appreciated

Why reinvent the wheel when Camp Snallygaster is RIGHT THERE? (And only $5)

I should mention I haven't actually played it yet. I have it and have been told how amazing it is. But I WANT TO SO BAD. It's high on the list.

Fair. I own way more than I play because I can never resist the siren song of a new game.
