DLA Day Seven! -- By Ian

      Last night was the traditional dance at DLA, a night for Scapers and DLAers to get together and get down for a bunch of fun. With an hour to get ready for the dance, we saw some interesting outfits and costumes fitting this year's camp-wide theme of Under the Sea. We saw many a Doctor Whos and classy gentlemen. The Findlay Ballroom was full of campers and was decorated to the teeth with fish and fish related... things.
     The DLAers left for about 15 minutes to let the Scapers have their final song, American Pie, an annual tradition that means a lot to campers, especially those graduating from Scape to DLA. The DLAers continued their dance after the Scapers left, with several more slow dances and crazier dances. After about another hour we started our final songs.  We played the aforementioned American Pie and then Hey Jude, a DLA-exclusive ending song, in which the entire camp locked arms and rocked together, another tradition commemorating and remembering their time spent at DLA thus far. After the dance concluded, campers headed to their suites to shower and get some sleep. It was truly a night to remember.
