Bar-T is a summer camp for kids ages 5 to 12 near the Urbana area. There are lots of activities for kids and during COVID, the staff and counselors are definitely following CDC guidelines by wearing face masks and adhering to social distancing guidelines by remaining 6 ft apart. Currently since there is no bus pick up or drop off, parents and guardians are picking up children in an organized fashion and time frame by last name. Bar-T staff has been organized and I remain impressed by the communication.
The activities for kids that are offered are hiking at the creek, the kids go to the pool twice a day, they offer snacks twice a day and a popsicle treat. They play games such as soccer, hockey and relay races. The kids are outdoors most of the time, even if it rains. However if there is severe thunder storms they do remain indoors to ensure the kids and counselors remain safe.
They even offer arts and craft projects each day. This week my son made a wooden snake and painted it. Previously he made a ceramic pot made of clay.
My son loves this place and makes new friends and memories each summer. Even though the price has raised this year, I'm still glad my son was able to attend since he will be doing virtual learning in the fall. read more
