**"Stuck in Camp Chaos"** is the fourth episode in Season 3 of ***Stuck in the Middle*** and the forty-first episode overall. It first aired on February 2, 2018, to 1.07 million viewers.

## Summary

Harley and Ellie host a winter-break camp for the neighbor kids.

## Plot

Harley's best friend, Ellie Peters comes home for a holiday, hoping to spend some time with her best friend. She finds Harley planning for her upcoming  Quinceañera. To raise money for the big day, Harley convinces Ellie to run a camp for kids outside the Diaz's house.

However, their camp activities keep getting interrupted by Aidan, Ellie's cousin who just moved in. Harley tries her best to quit Aidan or at least make him less interruptive. But Aidan is so stubborn and rude that Harley can't take it anymore. She loses her cool and asks Lewie and Beast to mobilize the rest of the campers to make as much noise as possible to scare Aidan away. In the chaos, the kids end up destroying the wall between the Diaz's and Bethany's house. Ellie is disappointed because she had come home to spend time with her best friend, but Harley has been too busy leading little kids in a revenge battle against Aidan.

Meanwhile, Georgie tries her luck babysitting Daphne the way Rachel used to do. Unfortunately, Georgie is too soft for Daphne's tricks. They end up destroying a lot of things in the house and trying to cover them up. At the end, Daphne shows Georgie how to get out of trouble - by admitting their crime when their parents are mad at another kid for a bigger crime. The perfect opportunity arises when Suzy busts Harley inciting camp chaos. Harley gets in trouble while Georgie and Daphne walk free. After the chaos, Harley and Ellie manage to reconcile while at the same time discuss about Harley’s Quinceañera.
