★★★★★Lindsey WinklerBarrie Camp really delivered and exceeded our expectations. Our son (4) only attends school a couple of hours a week in small classroom setting and is usually slow to warm. He’s came back to us excited, confident and happy every day of camp! He let me know next year we can cancel every other camp and only send him to Barrie Camp.. it was the highlight of his summer. We love that you can get more of a "traditional east coast camp" right in the DMV!
★★★★★Sara StumpA well-organized camp with staff that care deeply about the kids.
★★★A AndrohI was there for a meeting. It was quiet; decent parking spaces; a very woodsy like setting. They have an outdoor pool and a nice indoor basketball gym.
