LARP – Dragon Hunters (Ranch)

Live Action Role Play (LARP) camp will allow your camper to journey through magical realms while staying at (Ranch)! LARP Camp, for campers ages 7 and up, is perfect for campers who like to use their imagination and creativity to go on grand adventures.

LARP stands for live action role-play; where we act out characters we create and act out in a live and dramatic environment. The Western Reach is set in a medieval setting (swords and shields) and includes a little bit of everything, from sword fighting, acting, role-playing, puzzles, group challenges, individual challenges, and even just laying around in a hammock. The heroes are presented with choices & plot hooks and decide where they go and what they are doing. Inside practical and safety guidelines in conjunction with group decisions and guidance from the Game Masters (our amazing camp counselors). Please note LARP Camp does not participate in regular camp activities although heroes will have an opportunity to go to the swimming hole (the pool) if they wish to take a break from adventuring at the designated time. Please have your Heroes wear sturdy shoes (tennis shoes are perfect) and bring their swim stuff if they wish to go swimming. Costumes are encouraged but not necessary. 

LARP: Dragon Hunters will be held at Ranch during the week of June 16th – 20th. Since this is a 4-day week due to our camp closure on Thursday, June 19th, we will be automatically applying a $75 discount, making the rate $465 for this week of LARP: Dragon Hunters.

For campers who are signed up for 5 or more weeks at any Bar-T Ranch or Mountainside camp, the weekly rate for this camp will drop to $385.

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 $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.

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 ($70) and/or afternoon extended care ($90). Campers who attend extended care will not be charged a transportation fee.
