Youth at BARN
BARN provides an empowering environment where youth can explore new creative outlets. Unless otherwise specified, all BARN classes are open to ages 14 and up. We also have programs specifically for youth, such as Teen Nights, Summer at BARN, and after-school classes. Ages are noted in the activity description.
Summer at BARN
We love having kids and teens at BARN for our summer programs on Bainbridge Island! Find everything from sewing and welding to jewelry-making, robotics, and woodworking.
