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.
