Patriotism was in the air on Independence Day as the Westwood Recreation summer camp program hosted its annual Independence Day parade.
Campers from all ages who attend Westwood Recreation’s day camps over the summer attended the parade, which ran in the late morning at Westwood High School. Campers donned in patriotic attire marched from the back of Westwood High School to the Westwood Senior Center and back to the high school again.
Before the parade, the campers helped prepare by creating patriotic decorations, posters, flags and banners to march with in the parade. Campers were also encouraged to dress up in patriotic attire for the parade. Led by Uncle Sam on a golf cart, the annual parade proved to be a fun and enjoyable event on a perfect Independence Day on Monday.
The parade is an annual tradition for the Westwood Recreation camp program, and has been held for about the past 17 years. Every year, the parade is attended by every kid in Westwood’s camp programs, from ages 3-14.
