Gillibrand tours Brooklyn YMCA summer camp after neighborhood complaints
Politicians visited a YMCA summer camp at P.S. 261 Tuesday after recent noise complaints from Boerum Hill neighbors.
The visitors, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Councilmember Stephen Levin, additionally highlighted benefits of the summer learning environment.
“This is a great public-private partnership of amazing people bringing kids into a summer camp environment where they can learn about math and science,” Gillibrand said. “To get kids this age interested — 8, 9 and 10 years old — inspires them and hopefully leads them to explore careers in these fields.
