This is the third book in the Bear Naked series. It follows the lives of Amanda Burnson, a young bear shifter, her werewolf boyfriend and his pack, and of course, their were-otter friends. Amanda's Uncle Darren has gone missing while on a camping trip to Idaho. Connor's Uncle Mitch is found unconscious, in a coma. The pack's enemy, the Sons of Garm, seem like obvious suspects, but Idaho is home territory for the Skinwalkers, Native American cousins to the werewolves. The situation is more complicated than anything these young adults have yet witnessed. Uncle Darren is feral, trapped in bear form. The Skinwalkers are hostile, unwilling to help. The mountains themselves thwart them. Can the pack navigate the shifting alliances and find Uncle Darren in time?

Wolf Camp is not your typical arts-and-crafts summer camp. It's a training ground for future werewolves, where their mental and physical limits are constantly tested and honed. There are many hurdles to overcome: Amanda, an adolescent werebear, can't control her transformations yet; and Connor and his pack are the camp misfits. Then they discover a new threat from the Sons of Garm, this time from within the Leidulf tribe. Will Amanda and her werewolf friends be able to navigate these new waters? Maybe with a little help from a couple of old friends?
