A wonderful group of counselors is ready to create a magical and safe environment for Camp Barton Campers. Our goal is to provide a positive atmosphere for building confidence and having fun with an “every child wins” attitude.

Safety is always the priority at Barton Creek. All camp events are well-planned and closely supervised by our staff. All counselors are trained in child CPR and first aid.
Children will be assigned in groups of five to each one of our counselors. Lifeguards, as well as camp staff, supervise the children during all swimming events.

*Field trips are Wednesdays for Sunset Campers (ages seven to 12) only.

Typical week camp activities include:
Arts & Crafts
All-camp Games
Small group activities
Quiet time (during lunch to let kids recharge their batteries)
Sports instruction (Golf or Tennis)
Swimming
Sportball
