Plot

Two animal loving siblings named Boone Dixon and Heather Dixon go to different camps each summer. But this time, they have signed up to Camp Hither, where there is a legend of a living snake-monster that ate the campers. Boone and Heather start to believe the legend, but at first, when a kid, Roddy, tells Boone about the legends, he doesn't believe them, but the events happening at camp are actually really suspicious. Every morning, they spray a sticky, yellow substance they call Sun-Glo (it's actually snake D.N.A.) onto all the campers. Then the kid who told them about the legends goes missing, so Boone and Heather start to suspect something is off about Camp Hither. Then one night, they visit the counselors and on the bed there are only snakes! Then, when they ask the counselors about what they saw the next morning, the counselors say that they were on an outdoor meeting. Then one day when the kids know too much they take them inside the lab hidden in the camp. There was the kid who talked about the legends! But they turned him into a snake while looking for an antidote to snake venom and kids to test it out. Things go wrong for the counselors because they just turned the kid into a king cobra that eats other snakes. So then the main villain bites himself while trying to get away and just stays there then, the kid reverts to it's original body and they all escape.
