SNWL: My Youth Is Yours (Glamping Movie Night)
It’s mid-July and the end of summer is somewhat near, sadly all good things must come to an end.
But the end of every summer marks a new beginning for young people everywhere, whether it is the beginning of their sophomore year of high school, their freshman year in college or a new job!
There’s no better way of commemorating the end of another summer filled with laughter and adventure than through film.
