Our message is simple: Dream Big, We'll Show You How.

When four childhood friends headed out on a field trip to the Grafton Ponds Natural Area Preserve, they expected a day full of mud, croaking critters, and dazzling new plants. They were supposed to learn more about nature and why it’s so important to protect the environment. They wanted an adventure out of it, something they could remember all their lives.

When an angry raccoon pounces on the group and forces their class hamster to run into the marsh, the kids know they got more than they bargained for. Driven deep into the Preserve in search of their beloved class pet, and all the while evading a raccoon with a grudge, the kids need to put their heads together if they want to recover their hamster and get back to their teachers. But can their combined wits see them through to accomplish their mission, or will bitter disagreements keep them apart?
