Reason #27

Because this years program is bigger and better than last years. We've got some new awesome activities that'll blow your mind. Seniors can look forward to doing something they've always wanted to do but only juniors have been allowed. You may even find yourself a movie star after this camp!

There are ONLY 27 more sleeps till TRT0607. Although if you decide to sleep more frequently than once a day that could alter the figures as could deciding to miss a few nights sleep. Which I've heard has been happening because of sheer excitement about camp starting.
