  • Dress for the weather! Layers are key—rain or shine, we will be outside.

  • Warm layers, hats, and gloves for cooler temperatures.
  • A change of clothes—kids will get messy!

    What a great program! My son had an amazing experience. He loved every moment and was eager to participate every day. He’s already asking to come back next year.
    I loved being able to see all the photos of each day.

    5 STAR CAMP for all ages!!!! My 4.5 yr old daughter attended Barefoot & Buckets camp this week end LOVED it! This camp truly inspires their imaginations, allows kids to learn outdoors through play and working through things in an uninhibited environment. They did a fantastic job getting the kids excited with their creative and unique themes each day and we would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for a summer camp experience like no other! My daughter is also T1 Diabetic and they took extremely good care of her all week. This would a huge bonus for us!

    This program is awesome! My kids had the most wonderful time. My 12 yr old said, “I knew it would be fun, but I had no idea it would be THAT much fun!”
