About
Brooklyn Collaborative is a public secondary school located in Red Hook/Carroll Gardens, NYC. We are a Title I public school, serving 650 students in Grades 6-12. We partner with EL Education and NYC Outward Bound Schools to provide our students with a learning environment that promotes high-quality teaching, high levels of student achievement, character development, and college access, readiness and persistence. Please see www.bcs448.org to learn more about our school. Please also see our page on Inside Schools to check out our statistics, including our 90% graduation rate (https://insideschools.org/school/15K448).
What I’m Raising Money For
Crew Expedition camping is a Brooklyn Collaborative rite of passage. The 3-day/2-night trip (including coach bus transportation, food, lodging, camping supplies, and a NYC Outward Bound staff member who accompanies each crew for the whole trip) costs our school over $20,000. Students travel in crew advisories and sleep in cabins ("birdhouses"), participating in a variety of activities including ropes courses and teambuilding initiatives that help them develop communication skills that they are able to apply in other settings, especially in school. This trip supports students in becoming more resilient, capable, and compassionate. NYC Outward Bound provides students with equipment such as hiking backpacks, water bottles, sleeping gear, etc. so they have the complete authentic camping experience.
Why You Should Give
Hear it straight from our students! QUOTES ABOUT CREW EXPEDITION CAMPING FROM THE CLASS OF 2018: The Outward Bound camping trip with my peers and faculty was the experience of a lifetime. Before agreeing to participate on this expedition, I was unaware of the impact it would have. Through motivation and hard work, I allowed myself to tackle the challenges put before me. I discovered my love and respect for nature and stepping out of my snug box of comfort. Now as I eagerly await my next camping trip, I still have the stars in Brooklyn. -CM The camping trip gave me the ability to see nature as a beautiful thing. Beautiful views makes me want to move out of the city and explore the world. -BZ The crew camping trip was the best opportunity I had in BCS because a bunch of random teens from all backgrounds came together as one and we improved our life skills. -KM The camping trip was my most memorable experience because it made my crew close and now we are like a family. We all support each other no matter what. - DC
