Summer time is full of endless adventure, and for sisters Sally and Ali, it means one thing: Camp! An escape from school work, bullies, and a chance to make new friends. Some campers choose to stick close to family, others craft new memories with their cabin roommates, while some find themselves making friends with the impossible. Sasquatch Sally combines traditional Canadian folklore, and familial drama with just a tiny sprinkle of summer camp shenanigans to tell a theatrical tale as unique as a sasquatch itself!
