ABERDEEN, S.D. – On the first day of summer vacation, almost 200 kids were back at school—not for classes, but for Show Choir Camp.
The annual camp, open to grades 4-8, is taking place this week at Central High School, with approximately 170 students participating. Campers will end the week by putting on an open-to-the public performance at 11 a.m. Friday at CHS.
For Aberdeen Public Schools, Show Choir Camp is just one example of how the district continues to be busy, even during the summer.
