🍂 Autumn at Barton Camp!

Blue skies, golden trees and beautiful views across the countryside.

There’s something special about Barton Camp at this time of year. So much space to explore, play, enjoy the fresh air and make memories!

Just one of the many reasons we love this little corner of Somerset. 🥰

🌟 Did you know Barton Camp is home to the ONLY Sensory Dome in the South West?! 🌟

And what a fantastic addition it is to our outdoor play area! 💚

Our Sensory Dome is so much more than a climbing frame. With its network of ropes, suspended nets, sensory panels and exciting spaces to explore, it’s designed to encourage children of all abilities to play, discover and have fun!

🌈 Builds confidence and coordination
💪 Develops strength and balance
🤝 Encourages teamwork and communication
💚 Inspires imaginative and sensory play

At Barton Camp, we’re passionate about giving children opportunities to explore, challenge themselves and create wonderful memories.

And our Sensory Dome is just one of the many things that makes Barton such a special place! 🌳

Who’s had a go on our Sensory Dome? We’d love to hear what you thought! 👇

This is what childhood adventures should look like. 💚

Fresh air, huge open spaces, climbing, swinging, running around and plenty of room to explore.

One of the things we love most about Barton Camp is giving children the chance to get outdoors, have fun and make memories away from screens and everyday routines. 🌳☀️

Sometimes the simplest things really are the best.

Who has memories of THIS? 💦🏊

Our outdoor swimming pool has been the scene of an awful lot of fun over the years – and we suspect quite a few people following this page will have some stories to tell! 😂

Swimming, splashing and, of course, the slide… 💦

Did you swim in the Barton Camp pool? Let us know when you visited!

Can you spot our little visitor? 👀🐿️

There’s always something going on in the grounds at Barton Camp – and sometimes you just have to stop and look!

We love how much wildlife shares this beautiful space with us. 🌳💚

What wildlife do you remember spotting during your stay at Barton?

What a fantastic summer it’s been at Barton Camp! ☀️🌳

We’ve loved seeing the camp so full of life over the summer months — children exploring, playing, making new friends and, most importantly, making memories. 💚

A huge thank you to everyone who has stayed with us, visited us or supported Barton Camp this summer. It really is wonderful seeing this special place being enjoyed.

And did you know Barton Camp is available for everyone to use? It’s not just for schools! Whether you’re looking for somewhere for a group stay, club, organisation, community group or something a little different, we’d love to hear from you.

📩 Send us a message with your enquiry and we can tell you more about what Barton Camp has to offer.

And with views like these… we might be slightly biased, but it’s a pretty special spot! 😍

🌿 The Barton Camp Composting Loo! 🚽

It might not be the most glamorous attraction at Barton Camp, but it’s certainly one of the more memorable! 😂

Tucked away amongst the trees is our composting loo – simple, rustic and perfectly at home in the great outdoors. 🌳

Complete with its very own wooden loo seat, sawdust and even a rather ingenious branch toilet-roll holder!

Who remembers using this during their time at Barton? We’d love to hear your memories! 😆

Pizza night at Barton! 🍕🔥

Adam and Chantelle from maestros__pizza have been back at Barton Camp, working their magic and serving up their amazing woodfired pizzas! 😍

There’s something pretty special about ending a busy day at camp with freshly cooked pizza — and these always go down a treat!

A big thank you to Adam and Chantelle for looking after everyone once again. ❤️🍕

🧵 Made with love for Barton Camp 🪡💛

Just look at this incredible display of beautiful handmade quilts at Barton this summer! 🌈

Each year, our wonderful Quilting Society friends generously make and donate these quilts for the children who come to stay at Barton. Every one is completely unique and made with so much time, care and love.

It was lovely to see the children proudly displaying the quilts they received this summer — and even better knowing they had something special to take home and keep. 🥰

A huge thank you to all of our talented quilters for continuing to support Barton and our children. Your kindness really does mean so much. 💛

Sheep traffic! 🐑

You never quite know what you’ll see during your stay… and sometimes it’s a flock of sheep crossing the road! 🚜🌿

It’s just one of the many little reminders that Barton Camp is surrounded by beautiful countryside and farmland. Slow down, enjoy the views, and embrace country life.
