Did you hear the great news? Summer camps have been given the green light to reopen, allowing kids of all ages to take a break from city life to enjoy the great outdoors. Summer camp is a fantastic way for children to get in touch with nature and disengage from technology. Unfortunately, roughly 33% of kids in the Brooklyn area are unable to participate in summer camp due to poverty. That’s where Camp Brooklyn comes in! Since 2002, Camp Brooklyn has helped over 3,500 children go to summer camp and experience everything it has to offer. Through financial and in-kind donations, and a crew of volunteers, Camp Brooklyn is able to provide access to life-changing camp experiences for Brooklyn children from low income families, equipping them with critical growth and leadership skills and broadening their world.

Please join us in supporting Camp Brooklyn by participating in the 21 day matching grant challenge. From now until May 9th, Broadway Stages will match donations up to $10,000 in an effort to give as many kids as possible the gift of the great outdoors. As a member of the board of Camp Brooklyn, we have seen first hand the difference summer camp can make in the life of a child.
