Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the camp in the story?

Answer: Camp Algonkian Island

The camp director, Mister Warden, always starts his speeches with "This is Camp Algonkian Island...".

2. Rudy Miller and Mike Webster (the main characters) are assigned to which cabin number on their first day at camp?

Answer: Cabin 13

Rudy and Mike hate camp. They will try to escape many times during their stay. Rudy also doesn't like the fact that he is sent to Cabin 13.

3. Who is the bunk counsellor of Rudy and Mike's cabin?

Answer: Chip

Chip sometimes loses his temper later on when Rudy and Mike try to escape. Dave and Leo are also counsellors, but Joey is another camper.

Answer: It's French for dirt

Rudy told Chip earlier they were going to arts & crafts rather than playing sports. Later they give their dumbfounded counsellor a box filled with dirt (they also find out that the river is around one metre deep and that it would take forever to dam it up).

5. The person at camp that Rudy and Mike dislike the most is Joey Peters.

Answer: False

The person Rudy and Mike hate the most is Harold Greene, and he hates Rudy and Mike as much as they hate him.

6. On their first escape attempt, Rudy and Mike are stopped by an O.P.P. cruiser. The officer tells them to turn around when he sees they have forgotten something. What did they forget?

Answer: A bailing bucket

Although they never get stopped by an O.P.P. cruiser again, they remember the bailing bucket for their next escape plan.

7. Which of these camp activities does Rudy not participate in at camp?

Answer: Rock climbing

He only plays because the counsellors forced him to. They find out that Rudy has extraordinary talent at everything, single-handedly winning every game.

8. Finally Rudy and Mike make it to the mainland. They head for the nearest town to find a bus that will take them to Toronto. What is the name of the town?

Answer: Snow Hill

When they reach Snow Hill, they get chased by the counsellors into a lumber yard where they are caught and hauled back to Camp Algonkian Island.

Answer: Pierre

Pierre is the arts and crafts teacher at Algonkian Island. He was standing guard when he caught Mike by grabbing his belt. Soon afterwards Chip starts pandemonium by shouting "Miller's gone!" and every Algonkian counsellor rushes out into the night not even noticing Pierre, Rudy, and Mike. Four fell in the lake, one fell out of a tree chasing a squirrel, one was sprayed by a skunk and left behind, and one counsellor kicked a fellow counsellor because he thought he was a bear!

10. Do Rudy and Mike ever successfully escape (and stay gone)?

Answer: No

Though they try many times, their plans are always thwarted by Chip and his fellow counsellors. A few times, they come back on their own. I hope you had fun playing my quiz!
