STEM: Weather the STEM

One of the greatest of human achievements has been our ability to predict the weather. This week in STEM, we will explore the six different components of weather, the instruments scientists use to predict future weather phenomena, how tornadoes are formed, and ways you can create your very own weather station!

STEM – Weather the STEM Camp will be held at both Mountainside and Ranch during the week of June 23rd – June 27th. 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 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 ($70) and/or afternoon extended care ($90). Campers who attend extended care will not be charged a transportation fee.
