On Monday, June 22nd, friends of Camp Brooklyn bowled the night away at Brooklyn Bowl's state of the art bowling lanes. Brooklyn Bowl provided tasty food made to perfection by Blue Ribbon: fried chicken, green salad and mac & cheese. Bowlers also enjoyed live music and the incredible ambience of Brooklyn Bowl, which Rolling Stone magazine called “one of the most incredible places on Earth.” Camp Brooklyn greatly appreciates the support of everyone who came out to the event and also those who donated. Thanks to you, we’ll be able to send even more kids to sleep-away camp this summer!
