Bless the Beasts and Children book report?

Tell me what you think of my summary. Note: I couldn't include a lot of the details because we were allowed 100-150 words, I'm already over the limit. Suggestions, comments, anything would be great.

Thanks.

Bless the Beasts and Children is about six boys who were ending their summer at Box Canyon Boys Camp where the counselors often said they could turn any nail-biting bedwetting sissy into real man, a cowboy. These six boys were the definition of what their counselor called ‘dings’ useless slobs who took up space and didn’t fit anywhere and couldn’t do anything. They were considered the bottom of the barrel, the Bedwetters, as they were called. After they witnessed the first day of the three-day buffalo hunt in their area and saw how slowly and painfully they were slaughtered, they decided they had to do something about it, cowboys or not. They may not have met the standards of what their camp considered real men, who valued ability and skill above all, but in their journey to rescue a herd of buffalo from an excruciating death, they discovered that being a man is about more than that. It’s about integrity, and placing value on one’s morals before popular belief.

Update:

Yeah, when we got the assignment some people were like "Awww, couldn't you extend it a little? Please?!"
