Dance - XCUs very own DJ will provide music and be taking playlist suggestions throughout the week!

Olympic Competitions - We have individual, group and cabin Competitions over the course of the week.  The top three individual and team finishers win the coveted XCU Camp gold, silver and bronze medals.  This includes the talent contest.
