MB chats with Camp Brooklyn about this Sunday's Outdoor Family Fun Festival!
Williamsburg has an eventful weekend ahead with an Outdoor Family Fun Festival that includes amusement rides, food, drink and a Frolic Rock Fest Concert. This is all to Benefit Camp Brooklyn an amazing organization that provides a two week sleep away camp for low-income Brooklyn Children. Motherburg spoke with Camp Brooklyn’s Debra Garcia on their cool partnership with our favorite playspace Frolic!
MB:
Camp Brooklyn and Frolic feels like a great partnership, I am for one very excited about the concert. How did Camp Brooklyn come to partner with Folic?
Camp Brooklyn:
I was introduced to Carey and Julia by Norm Brodsky (CitiStorage)… we became phone friends and when I told them about the Camp Brooklyn event we were planning at CitiStorage … they immediately agreed to be a part of the event committee and that very quickly turned into them taking over the entertainment part of the event… which made total sense since Frolic is such a big part of the Williamsburg family scene especially when it comes to Children and music. Our mutual philosophy regarding enriching children’s lives makes us ideal partners!!!
MB:
The entertainment list is quite impressive. How did you get so many amazing musicians on board?
Camp Brooklyn:
Frolic worked with Charley Ryan and Peter Costello of Brooklyn Bowl to put this fabulous line-up together…!!!!
MB:
Do you see a concert such as this as an annual celebration, something for Brooklyn to look forward to every June?
Camp Brooklyn:
I am so thrilled to be working with Frolic, Brooklyn Bowl, Elaine and Norm Brodsky/CitiStorage and the rest of our event committee, our corporate sponsors, media sponsors and Auster Events in putting together this amazing day…all to benefit Camp Brooklyn!!!!
I think we will all be a bit sad when it is over… and of course I hope that this will become a tradition that all of Brooklyn and the rest of NYC can look forward to for many years to come!!!
