Our second annual Bring Your Kids to Work Day (aka Camp Brinker) was a huge success, filled with laughter, learning and loads of fun! We were thrilled to host so many mini BrinkerHeads and show them how we work hard and play hard. The kiddos participated in a slew of entertaining activities – learning the art of our viral cheese pull with George Felix, interviewing with Kevin Hochman and James Butler, making take-home pizzas with our Culinary team, petting a baby kangaroo, burning off energy on the obstacle course and more! A big thank you goes out to all the BrinkerHeads who served as camp counselors for the day and helped make this day unforgettable.🏕️🎉 #BringYourKidsToWorkDay #Culture #WorkingParents
