Bar-T is proud to be one of the area's premier providers of year-round programming for children and their families.

Bar-T operates summer camps in a variety of locations throughout Montgomery and Frederick Counties, including the Bar-T Ranch in Gaithersburg, Bar-T Mountainside in Urbana, and our Kids Camp programs that operate within several public schools in Montgomery County. The Ranch and Mountainside also provide the home base for our Bar-Teens Program that entertains older campers with weekly fieldtrips and overnights, in addition to our regular camp program.

The Bar-T Mountainside Challenge and Retreat Center opened in 2006 and provides an ideal venue to host corporate retreats, outdoor education, and other special events. Visitors to Mountainside can take advantage of a wealth of opportunities that range from teambuilding on our ropes course to environmental education in our organic farming fields.

Bar-T also cares for over 2,500 children within our 29 Kids Club before and after school programs and 7 Pre-K classrooms, located throughout Montgomery County. Our school year families develop long-lasting friendships through our child-centered curriculum that is enriched by a supervised homework time, our Bar-T sports program, specialty clubs, and kid's nights out, just to name a few.

The mission of Bar-T is to provide a unique experience in all of the programs that we offer. We strive to treat all children and adults as individuals. We provide choices, and we listen, show respect and keep everyone safe. We help people remember they are of great worth.
