Since last year he'sbeen creating skits and parodies of popular songs from the 80s and 90sand posting them on social media, attractingthousands of views and shares.

"I'm stuck in the 80s, the whole energy of the 80s," Muise said.

"Growing up in Newfoundland and taking those National Lampoons-typevacations over to P.E.I. was really so exciting. Some kids will never experience that. I'm thinking 'how do we get that energy back?'"

He brought it back by creating his Facebook page: 80s Summer Camp.

He started the project in May2016after leaving Fort McMurray during the wildfires.

"I'm going tothrow myself into making people laugh,"Muise said.

"I'm going to get out there and be goofy. I'm going tojust put positivity out there as much as I can just so that the people around me aren't going to feel my stress."
