As the story goes on Stanley grows and he makes friends with most of the campers. He receives the nickname “Caveman.” In the end Camp Green Lake gets in trouble for it’s violations. And Stanley and Zero go home with Stanley’s lawyer. He also finds a trunk with gold and jewelry which is worth millions in today’s time. He splits the jewelry 50/50 with Hector Zeroni a.k.a. “Zero.”
