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.
More Ways to Get Involved
- Community Service: Get involved in any of the community service projects at BARN.
- Volunteering: Reach out to the Youth Coordinator for available volunteering opportunities.
- Partnerships: We love to chat with representatives of school, youth, and community groups about how to connect our programs.
- Independent Studies/Mentorships: If you are interested in Independent Studies through your high school, contact your school counselor and the studio lead.
SoundWave Scholarship Program
The SoundWave Scholarship offers an opportunity for young songwriters in Kitsap County, ages 14-18, to record their original music at Brickyard Studio (Bainbridge Island, WA) with onsite engineer and studio owner Johnny Bregar. Recipients will also be guided through a mentorship program with internationally celebrated local singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Lydia Ramsey to refine their songs’ artistic and technical elements and produce “studio-ready” material. Applications are due by April 1, 2025.
