Children, young adults perform talent show to mark end of 5-week day camp

VANCOUVER HEIGHTS — Campers age 13 to 30 celebrated the end of their five-week stay with Vancouver Parks and Recreation’s Access to Recreation Day Camp with a talent show at Lieser School. They marched onto the stage singing “You’re a Grand Old Flag” and performed other songs and dances. The camp offers opportunities for children and young adults with mental or physical disabilities. At the talent show, campers in wheelchairs decorated to look like race cars circled the stage in a choreographed dance. “I love seeing that they enjoy the show, and I love dancing with them,” camp counselor Mike Nguyen said in a news release. Access to Recreation Day Camp is over, but the Access to Recreation Program continues year-round with activities for those experiencing mental or physical disabilities. Registration for fall activities is open. Find out more at www.cityofvancouver.us.
