Summer Camp Guide 2013

BAREFOOT REPUBLIC is a summer camp that serves rising 1st – 12th graders with both day and overnight camp sessions. Our mission is to facilitate Christ-centered relationships between individuals from diverse racial, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds through an equally diverse platform of artistic, athletic and team-building programs.

Overnight camp sessions for 3rd-12th graders are held at our 110-acre camp property on Barren River Lake near Scottsville, KY, about 75 miles north of Nashville. Day camp sessions are available in both Franklin and Nashville for rising 1st-5th graders. We strive to be as diverse in our programming as we are in our camper population, offering activities such as team sports, BMX biking, skateboarding, dance, drama, painting, photography, songwriting, music production, hiking, canoeing, wilderness skills, paintball, water sports and much more.
We often have a 2:1 camper to staff ratio, we scholarship the majority of our campers and we have loads of fun. Call 615-599-9683 or email trhodes@barefootrepublic.org and register today! Visit us on line at www.barefootrepublic.org.
