Sojourn will be held from 27 to 29 August 2021 (Friday to Sunday). There'll be many fun games and mind-boggling puzzles. We're also hoping to include some in-person activities, but if we can't, rest assured the online version will be equally exciting! The camp fee's $20 for freshers, which includes a camp T-shirt and a goodie bag. There're also many attractive prizes to be won! Sounds great! How do I sign up?
