Teenage boredom is a perennial problem in many suburban communities. One solution is a summer recreation centre, but there are pitfalls to avoid. Made with the help of young people in Richmond, British Columbia, this film re-enacts what happened at their newly opened centre. The leaders hesitated to impose a structured program too quickly. Anarchy took hold among the youngsters. Why this happened will prompt useful discussion among people concerned with youth activities.
