PAL summer camp winds up with carnival in Prospect Park
About 700 youngsters from all five boroughs celebrated the Police Athletic League’s (PAL) Summer Day Camp with a fun-filled day of games, arts and crafts and circus acts at a carnival extravaganza at Prospect Park Parade Grounds in Brooklyn.
PAL transformed the city park into a summer oasis for Brooklyn children, ages five to eight, with Nok Hockey, board games, carnival booths, face painting and more. Youngsters competed in potato sack races, enjoyed team-building carnival games and were treated to circus act performances.
The Summer Day Camp Carnival promotes cooperation, camaraderie, sportsmanship and self-esteem – and just plain fun, says event organizers.
