Our History

Pete Baroody, a native to the Northern Virginia area and a Gonzaga graduate, founded Baroody Camps in 2007 with a mission of developing programs that would enrich children's lives and provide them with a place to have fun, grow, and learn. Pete looked for ways to provide programs that would allow children to experience everything from academics and athletics, to imagination and creativity.  

In 2007, Pete incorporated and began seeking new schools to house his camp programs and has run programs in several local schools over the years. Baroody Camps, Inc. offers several opportunities for children ages 3-18 in the Northern Virginia area to participate in rewarding activities during the summer as well as the school year. In fact he and his team have been growing after school offerings to more than 22 different area schools (and the list keeps growing). Baroody Camps now serves hundreds of families with their after school programs in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax and Falls Church.

Pete Baroody, founder of Baroody Camps, Inc. has taught PE at Saint Mary’s School and Blessed Sacrament School in Alexandria. He was formerly a PE teacher at Alexandria Country Day School and taught PE to Kindergarten through 8th graders.
