CAMP: Stories About the Highs and Lows of Summer Camp

I’ll be telling a story about summer camp, along with some superstars of storytelling, at Freddy’s! Come have a drink and enjoy camp stories along with Freddy’s campy (the other kind of campy) decor.

From host Bryan Berlin:

Summer camp has been a big part of my life since I was 10. After both attending and working at a nonprofit camp in NH, I started running a 200 mile, 12-person relay race every year to raise money for the camp.

This year is my 7th year running the race and I decided to do something different to raise money: a storytelling show! We'll have a bunch of stories from my friends about their summer camp experiences, and you can grab a drink, enjoy the stories, and throw a few bucks towards my fundraising goal. If you can't make the show and still want to pitch in a few bucks you can do that here:

Featuring stories from:

Courtney Antonioli
Molly Cameron
MJ Litfaßäule
Sam Rogal
Adam Wade
and maybe a few more special guests!
