Boyz in the Woods is the 8th episode of Season 3 of The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.
Synopsis[]
Philip takes Will and Carlton on a camping trip that turns out to be a disaster.
Plot[]
While Hilary spends her time at home with Trevor, Philip takes Will and Carlton on a camping trip that turns out to be a disaster when snow traps the unhappy campers. While in the cave, Phillip admits he only took them camping to spend time with them before college as he enjoyed spending time camping with his late father. Will thanks Uncle Phil for being his support as he felt out of place upon arriving in Bel-Air. In the end, they wake up to discover that the bag of cash they had discovered in their cave and burned for warmth could have been theirs legitimately as prize money for a TV challenge. Will had in fact stashed some of that cash in his pants to prevent it getting burned by the other two. Hilary, however, cannot spend any alone time with Trevor due to the presence of Geoffrey and Jazz who shows up and believes Hilary is only using Trevor to make him jealous.
