Welcome all Kent Gardens students to a fun enrichment session at Kent Gardens Elementary! The PTA has partnered with Baroody Camps, Inc. (www.baroodycamps.com) to provide a wide variety of after school enrichment classes for students across all grade levels. In Northern Virginia, Baroody Camps has been providing summer camps since 2003 and enrichment classes since 2014.

Baroody Camps was started in 2003 as a basketball summer camp by a young PE teacher, Pete Baroody. After 4 successful summers of camp, Baroody Camps was incorporated and grew to three locations. As the summers passed, Baroody Camps added new programs and recruited some amazing area teachers to run some of the most fun camps around. In 2014, Baroody Camps started to work with local elementary schools during the school year to help them administer their after school enrichment programs. With unparalleled experience in educational leadership, teaching, creating curriculum, facility management, and customer service. Pete has a unique view on how things should be done. "We do our best to bring it all together to serve all of our partners; parents, teachers, school administrators, program providers, and of course our amazing students."         

After 17 years of teaching, Pete is putting all of his efforts in to helping Baroody Camps work with providers to create some of the best learning experiences for students in Northern Virginia.

• SAFETY. Baroody Camps provides one of our qualified and trained on-site coordinators who manages and oversees the day-to-day operations of the program, supervises the safe arrival and dismissal of students, and supports the teachers of each class throughout their session.
• VARIETY. We work with a wide variety of vendors who are experts in their field to deliver a variety of programs that will foster children's development and curiosity in a challenging and structured environment. Our range of programs includes something for everyone, including STEAM, music, sports, engineering, theatre, and much more!
• CONVENIENCE. Remaining at their school eliminates the need for someone to pick up your child and deliver them to another location, providing you and your child more time and peace of mind.
• FUN. We provide year-round activities that encourage a love of learning, creativity, curiosity, skill development, character building, and fun!
