Camp Activities

While our outstanding counselors ensure that there is no limit to the fun with a continuously evolving list of activities, we know that it can be helpful to see the types of activities that make up our camper’s days. These activities include, but are not limited to:

Facilities

Bar-T Mountainside, located in Frederick County just minutes from I-270, is a 115-acre farm which was built from the ground up as a summer camp. At Mountainside, your camper will have the opportunity to build their self esteem on our adventure course, embrace their curiosity on our nature trail, expand their creativity with arts & crafts, and most importantly make new friends with the other Mountainside campers and staff.

Transportation

Bar-T provides bus transportation to and from camp each day, for an additional $50/week. A Bar-T staff member meets our families at each of our transportation sites and rides the bus to and from camp to help ensure our camper’s safety. Bar-T staff will arrive 10 minutes prior to the scheduled bus departure to check our campers in and answer any questions parents may have. We ask that our parents remain on site until after the bus has departed to help ensure everyone’s safety. Our staff will help make sure that our campers reach their group with a smile on their face each morning and will remain at the transportation site each afternoon until all campers have been picked up.

Check out our map to find the bus stop that is most convenient for your family.

Extended Care

For families that need coverage beyond the camp day, we offer extended care options at Ranch, Mountainside, Kids Camps, and select sites that allow campers to arrive as early as 7am and stay as late as 6:30pm. This extended care option is offered on a weekly basis and families can choose morning extended care ($60) and/or afternoon extended care ($80). Campers who attend extended care will not be charged a transportation fee.
