Ep 18. Happy Campers

In Corner Gas season 4 episode 18 titled Happy Campers, the residents of Dog River get ready for the annual river raft race. Brent, Wanda, and Hank form a team and decide to camp by the river, while Lacey and Karen stay at the Ruby Cafe to serve breakfast to the early bird rafters. Meanwhile, Oscar and Emma plan to spend a quiet weekend at home but get an unexpected visitor.

As Brent, Wanda, and Hank set up camp, they start to realize they may have underestimated how rustic camping can be. Wanda struggles with pitching the tent while Hank insists on roasting hot dogs on a stick. Brent, who is the most experienced camper of the group, tries to keep his cool and teach them the proper way to camp. However, he is getting increasingly annoyed by Hank's loud snoring and Wanda's obsession with finding "forest treasure".

As the two compete, they start to realize that they're not the only ones with culinary tricks up their sleeve.

Back at the campsite, Brent, Wanda, and Hank's peaceful night under the stars is interrupted by an unexpected visitor. They soon realize that they're not alone in the woods and must come up with a plan to protect themselves from a possible intruder.

Meanwhile, Oscar and Emma are enjoying a quiet night in when a sudden knock on the door interrupts them. They're surprised to find a young man named Ricky stranded on the side of the road. Ricky is on a mission to find his father and believes Oscar may have some answers. As Emma takes a liking to the young man, Oscar becomes increasingly annoyed by his presence.

Throughout the episode, the different storylines intertwine and come to a head during the river raft race. The camping trio must work together to win the race, Lacey and Karen must band together to beat Mayor Fitzy in the cook-off, and Oscar and Emma must come to terms with their unexpected house guest.
