In June of this year, Roanoke County will celebrate 40 years of providing recreation services for people with disabilities. On June 8, 1976, The Ro-

anoke County Board of Supervisors voted to offer a recreation summer program for youth with disabilities; ACE Camp was born! Since then, Therapeutic Recreation Services of the Valley has offered goal oriented programs to youth with multiple developmental disabilities, as well as adults with cognitive disabilities, mental health diagnoses, head injury related disabilities, and visual impairments.

TRS currently offers over 120 program per year and is serving over 2,000 registrations to over 400 unique participants each year, and has expand-ed service to the surrounding area including Roanoke City, City of Salem, and adjacent counties. TRS offers programming that reflects the quality and breadth of general recreation programs; pottery, painting, hiking, over-night trips, cooking, fitness, swimming, and so many more. Con-gratulations Roanoke County!

For the last three months, TRS staff has had the pleasure of work-ing with three college-based interns. Sara Jarrett from Long-

wood University, and Victoria Bennett and Hannah Martin from Radford University have been “learning the ropes” of therapeutic recreation programming. During their short tenure, the interns have become an integral part of Therapeutic Recreation Services, and their presence and enthusiasm will be sorely missed. Join us in wishing them all success and accomplishment with their future endeavors!
