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 a 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, Friday (calendar Thursday), was historically the day of key and fob return, although due to the new self-locking doors, this has since been changed to the morning of the last day.
