Plot summary

The story is about a group of teenaged girls that go to summer camp and bet on which of them will lose their virginity first. After that, they choose ''targets'', or guys that they want to be the ones they lose the virginity with. The sports coach is one of the guys ''chosen'' by one of the girls.

In between, the girls engage in typical teenager acts of fun, such as food fights and other activities.

The girls involved in the contest are typecast opposites and rivals, streetwise poor girl Angel Bright (McNichol) and romantic rich girl Ferris Whitney (O'Neal). While one of them does lose her virginity, the victory is not what she expected — and the girls form a friendship over their mutual loss of innocence.
