RACE AROUND THE LAKE raises money for BarnArts youth programming, primarily our Summer Youth Theater, now in its 14th Season. These funds allow us to keep our enrollment costs low and offer scholarships to students who need additional assistance. We recently expanded our Arts-in-Education programming, and offer a free youth choir experience every fall.
