WHERE CAMP IS NOT ONLY FUN, IT’S AN ADVENTURE

Bar Y Outdoor Adventure Camp is nestled off Versailles Road at the Fayette/Woodford County line near The Kentucky Castle.

Archery

The archery range provides equipment and tools for participants of various abilities and experience. Our staff often jazz up the range with balloons, fruit or other wacky targets!
Challenge Course

The challenge course offers a series of activities, games and elements designed to promote self-confidence, teamwork and achievement; as well as develop leadership and problem-solving skills. Challenges typically include objects or situations that require both individual and team strategy to solve or overcome.
Crawdad Fishing

Campers will experience crawdad fishing on our water front. They will learn that there is another whole eco-system that shares the water front with them, what these creatures might like to eat, how they move and how they interact with everything around them.
Fort Building

Campers get to design their own fort with guidance from our skilled staff about structure and time challenges. Campers learn how to select the wood, tie lashings and knots, use tools safely and properly, and utilize different building techniques with our Fort Building experts.
Gaga Pit

To play gaga, you need a foam ball (it’s better to have a ball you would use in the game of dodgeball – to prevent injury) and a gaga pit. Around camp, we have various designated areas for our campers to play their game. Campers are gaga over gaga!
Hiking

What better way to get exercise than taking guided hikes on camp trails? Don't worry - campers will take plenty of breaks and move at a comfortable pace.
Mamba Slides

Campers race through tunnels and race against their friends to the finish in our 100-foot long Mamba slides.
Sports Fields

Campers play capture the flag, soccer and more on our versatile sports field.
