Photography Camp @ Ranch

Explore camp through the lens of a Digital SLR camera at Photography Camp. This camp, for campers ages 8 and up, will teach the fundamentals of photography using camp as our backdrop. Join us as we capture meaningful moments while making memories with friends.

We’ll be offering Photography Camp at Ranch during the weeks of June 17th – 21st & June 24th – June 28th. Don’t see the dates you need? Check out our Photography Camp at our sister location, Mountainside, here.

During the week of June 17th, we have a 4-day week: We will be closed Wednesday, June 19th – Due to this closure, we will be automatically discounting the week and will discount the total cost by $75. Therefore the June 17th week of photography camp will actually cost $450, and if you sign up for 5 or more weeks, the price will drop to $370. 

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:

Bar-T Mountainside and Bar-T Ranch were farms where we built summer camps from the ground up. Bar-T Mountainside, located in Urbana just minutes from I-270, and Bar-T Ranch, a spacious 12-acre farm located in Laytonsville, are two of the best summer camp facilities in Maryland.

Bar-T provides bus transportation to and from camp each day for an additional fee of $50 per 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.

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.
