STEM: Engineers in the Air

For years Bar-T campers have enjoyed swinging and zipping on our ropes courses, but have you ever stopped and wondered how our courses work? If that’s the case then get ready to learn in the trees as we take a closer look at the different elements designed to blow your hair back! Campers will have to enter the mind of a challenge course engineer and see what they have to consider when designing a new, top-notch high-ropes element! And who knows, maybe they will see their design in the trees some day!

STEM – Engineers in the Air will be held at both the Ranch & Mountainside during the week of July 14th – 18th. The rate for one week of STEM Camp is $540. 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 $460.

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 a 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.
