Art League: Organized as a social forum for Lake Artists to meet on a monthly basis to share their art with other artists in the community. Each month several artists present and discuss their recent work. Future plans for the League include organizing exhibitions and sales for LB artists. All Lake Barcroft artists and artisans are encouraged to join. Call Louise Ziebell (703-256-2734) or Jennifer Talati (703-845-3434) for more information. Or email Louise Ziebell, louiseziebell@yahoo.com.
Boat Sharing Program: 
This program facilitates the borrowing of small boats (kayaks, canoes and paddleboards) among neighbors. Boats in the program are stored at the Lake Barcroft beaches and are locked with smart padlocks that can be opened with a phone by any participant. This allows residents to enjoy our beautiful lake from the water without having to own their own boat, and also allows residents to take out guests for a paddle. There are kayaks, canoes and paddle boards to borrow at beaches 2,3 and 4. Guest life jackets are also available at beach 4. There is a $35 fee per household to cover the costs of running the program. To join, please review the rules on our website and then fill out the membership agreement form, sign the linked waiver and make your dues payment. If you are not familiar with paddling, and would like a current member to take you out on the lake the first time, we'd be happy to do so. Email barcroftbc@gmail.com with any questions.
Barcroft Docks: This program connects lakefront property owners with available dock space to Lake Barcroft residents (and only those residents) who need boat storage. All users are verified before listings are approved or connections are made. Property owners list their space; boat owners browse listings or post requests. All listings are reviewed to ensure they meet community standards and include accurate information before being displayed publicly. Email admin@barcroftdocks.com with any questions; we will respond within 48 hours.
Lake Barcroft Singles Group: The Lake Barcroft Singles Group is a social group that gathers in friendship. It was begun in 2022 by Marie-France Smith, Sue Morse, and Louise Ziebell and now has more than two dozen members. There are monthly events at different members' homes here at the lake. The group celebrates holidays like St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and others. Also, there are cocktail parties, boat outings, winery day trips, picnics, dancing at Glen Echo, art tours at the National Gallery of Art, and other events suggested by members. Interested singles are invited to contact the group to learn more. Contact Louise Ziebell, louiseziebell@yahoo.com.

GLOB+ (Gays and Lesbians of Barcroft Plus): GLOB+ is a welcoming social group for LGBTQIA+ residents of the Lake Barcroft community. Our purpose is simple: to foster friendship, connection, and community among LGBTQIA+ neighbors. Throughout the year, members gather for a variety of social activities, including happy hours, dinners, Lake outings, theater performances, local events, and gatherings hosted in neighbors' homes. Some events are intimate get togethers of just a few friends, while others bring together 30 - 40 members and guests. Whether you're new to the neighborhood or have lived here for years, GLOB+ offers an opportunity to meet neighbors, build friendships, and become part of an active and supportive community. If you are an LGBTQIA+ Lake Barcroft resident and would like information about upcoming events, we'd love to hear from you. Contact WeRLBRC@gmail.com.
Music on the Lake: This series features outstanding musicians in the intimacy and beauty of a Lake Barcroft home.
