Saturday Night Fever

Written by Anthony Bui on June 24, 2018, 12:21am

We're inching closer and closer to the end of camp. Our last Saturday starts off with droopy, hungover eyes. Perhaps it's the afterglow of a fantastic Friday night out at Fat Cats?! But what happened yesterday is long past. Yesterday's mischief is quickly erased by today's excitement, full of inspiring sessions and preparations for the SHOW ALL THINGS SHOW!!!
