Camp Refoogee (The Smiths)

Plot
When Homer tries to persuade Morty to go to summer camp, Morty refuses, wanting instead to stay home and spend time playing video games. Homer does not give up, however; upon learning that a camping supply store is donating its equipment to a camp, he sends Morty along with it. Francine then learns that Homer actually sent their son to an African refugee camp (which Homer mispronounces as "re-foo-gee") and demands that he bring Morty home. Wanting to help the refugees, Summer also tags along.

Once in Africa, Summer discovers the workers feasting while the refugees are starving, and quickly joins them. Meanwhile, Homer turns the refugee camp into a summer camp so Morty can have some kind of camp experience. Morty meets Makeva, an African girl about his age, but then gets annoyed when his dad keeps bothering him. Just then, a group of rebels led by General Ozomatli kidnaps Makeva. Homer then suggests a "Camp-a-lympics" to the rebels, saying that if his team wins, the refugees get Makeva and their land back. Back home, Brian, Francine, and Stewie amuse themselves in Quahog, pretending to be a professor, his wife and baby son. They meet the couple Rick and Candy and invite them home, and the subplot becomes a parody of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, resulting in a bloody fight which wrecks the living room.

At the Camp-a-lympics, the score is tied going into the final event, a foot race between Homer and the rebel leader. Morty wins the event, but Makeva runs into the arms of the rebel leader, whom she has already fallen for. Homer then tells a dejected Morty that his first camp love dumped him too. As they fly home, Summer, who had spent all of her time eating at the UN headquarters there instead of helping the refugees, says she thinks she "gained the African twenty," while Morty thanks his dad for an "awesome" camp experience.
