Programming info In our desire to design for awe and delight, we don't usually share the Camp Program until the day of Camp but for those who would prefer to see something in advance, we will share a digital version of it here 48 hours before camp. Other things that are good to know! Friday night: The Dance Dance Karaoke silent disco dress theme is LOUD and bright. We wanna hear you through your clothing! Inspo includes your fave rockstar, bright colours, neon, glow, wild prints, and general EXTRANESS! Saturday night: The Apex Portal dress theme is “wear something you truly love”. This can be interpreted in so many ways and is intended to provide maximum flexibility and freedom. So you can’t go wrong, whether it’s your favorite jogging suit, a costume sitting in your closet, something you bought for a special occasion or things you haven't been able to wear in the last few years! Literally ANYTHING that brings you delight, gets you in the mood to dance, and helps you embody whatever heightened alter-ego you're bringing to the new post-Camp world!
