Retreat Center

I just want to tell you what a fantastic time we had at Bar-T. Mountainside truly is a wonderful place for kids and adults!  All of the staff were so positive and encouraging to the girls as well as the troop leaders. The positive atmosphere was empowering. We accomplished activities that we never thought we could... My co-leaders, girls and myself want to thank you for such a memorable experience. We look forward to returning to Mountainside! Beth Green, Leader of GSCNC Troop 81579

I would also like to extend our thanks to you and your staff for such a great day. At today's Lead Staff meeting it was shared that our employees have reported that they fully enjoyed the day, had some good takeaways and it was 'the best all employee event they had ever attended.' I would venture to say that it was a huge success. Christopher Robinson, Deputy Superintendent, Historic Preservation Society Training Center

All of the staff were excellent! Even the most passive student in our class was very involved in the days activities. The teamwork displayed by the staff was carried over to our students. The kids loved them! There were lots of staff to help our kids prepare for ropes, they offered loads of encouragement and support to all students - even those who were initially scared of ALL the activities.

I received a ton of positive feedback from our staff. We learned a lot about ourselves and our organization from the event. We will be back! New Hope Charter Academy

They went above and beyond the call of duty! Catered to all of our needs. Great place, wonderful people, excellent retreat!!! Our group still talks about their Mountainside experiences. The students grew and changed in just 24 hours at Mountainside. Carroll Community College

Everyone loved it. There was something for everyone. The facility is exceptional, the staff are top-notch, they go above and beyond to make your experience great!! Bowie State University

My sense is that everyone had a wonderful time. I heard from many people things like 'this is the best birthday party ever' and 'what a great place for a party.'  Our daughter was raving about it for days. She's been talking about having another party there someday since she had so much fun; maybe even an annual event. Sue's Birthday Party
