When Stanley goes to this camp the Warden orders him that he digs holes with the rest of the kids who were there. Stanley meets five kids named Zig-Zag, Magnet, Armpit, Squid, X-ray, and Zero Stanley's best friend at the camp. All 6 of these boys, including Stanley stay in the same bunkhouse. Bunkhouse letter Group D. Mr. Pendanski is the younger counselor who communicates with the boys the most. Mr. Sir doesn't talk to the boys a lot but is the more discipline counselor.

Stanley Yelnats is the main character, which is a Non-violent kid who is convicted for a crime he did not commit. He meets another kid at camp named Zero and with their friendship Stanley manages to break the family curse. Zero (also known as Hector Zeroni) is the best hole digger at camp. He is thought to be very uneducated by everyone at camp, in fact Zero is very smart. We come to learn that Zero is the great-great-great-great-grandson of Madame Zeroni.
