Bar-T Summer Camps and School Year Programs states a mission of providing after-school childcare, summer day camps, outdoor education, corporate team building, and events, along with school year programs and summer day camps that match children’s emerging interests and talents. The organization notes “50 Years of Positive Impact” and describes an ongoing positive impact on generations of Maryland families through its community. JLIT programs run at all Bar-T camp locations, including Mountainside, Ranch, and Kids Camps in the Germantown, Silver Spring, and Gaithersburg areas, and Bar-T bus transportation is available for JLITs to both Mountainside and Ranch.
School-Age Teacher applicants must be at least 19 years old and show proof of ADA Training, a high school diploma, college credit or a Nine Hour Communication Course, a 45 Hour Growth & Development Course, a 45 Hour School Age Methods and Materials Course, and 400 hours of childcare experience. Director and Assistant Director applicants must be at least 19 years old and show proof of a 45 Hour Growth & Development Course, a 45 Hour School Age Methods and Materials Course, Center Director Regulation Training, and 800 hours of childcare experience. Lifeguard positions for ages 16 and up require certification, and certain director roles are benefit eligible for healthcare, vision, dental, and an employee assistance program. The program also offers a Director Career Track with a transparent salary band and growth opportunities, and substitute positions are assigned on an as-needed basis and may be scheduled last minute.
Parent and participant comments include praise for Kids Camp’s inclusive environment and staff, long-term positive memories at Bar-T, and appreciation for both the camp and before- and after-school programs. Families describe staff at locations such as Mountainside as making summers “over the top fun” and safe, and note valuing childcare in the same school their children attend. Other feedback mentions that Bar-T programs keep children engaged with activities after school and describe daily stimulating and enriching activities that have affected their child’s development.
