Talent Show

A Talent Show at CTY usually involves very unusual skills that are possessed by us lovable weirdos who attend camp.

Lancaster

Both student and staff talent shows are held at Lancaster (Session 2) on separate days. In Session 1 there is only the student show, giving the staff an unfair advantage in practice time. On the last Tuesday and Wednesday, the talent shows are held in place of activities. The next day, Thursday (actually, it's a Friday), is the day of key and fob return. (Not true in 07.2, due to the new self-locking doors; instead, keys and fobs were returned at checkout the next morning.)
