Brownsville Girls Collaborative Retreat

On Saturday October 22, 2016  the Brownsville Girls Collaborative attended their retreat at YMCA Camp Greenkill in Huguenot NY.   The young ladies were able to bond with each other through team building activities including candle making, board games, girl talk and arts and crafts. At the end of the retreat the girls were inducted as caterpillars and official members of the Brownsville Girls Collaborative. Check out some of the  highlights below!

The retreat was a success and the girls look forward to the next 7 months of the collaborative. Immediately following the retreat the young ladies brainstormed names for their cohort and came up with -Strong Beautiful Sisters (S.B.S) . We are excited to watch this journey of sisterhood unfold.
