Giovanni and Marco, a rabbit and a turtle, are friends going on their first campout. They enjoy being in the great outdoors until night comes and they become frightened by the unfamiliar sounds.

Their first day is full of adventure exploring the forest and cooking at the campfire. Later they are awakened during the night by strange noises outside their tent. They become frightened imagining what the sounds could be and it takes all of their courage to open the tent to see who is outside.

The next morning the park ranger teaches Giovanni and Marco that they don't need to be afraid of the other animals that live in the forest. Once they realize this, they make some new friends and aren't afraid to be in the forest anymore.
