Camp Barton

In 1922, Camp Barton was established at Taughannock Falls, a mile or two south of our present location at Frontenac Point on beautiful Cayuga Lake in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes. In the almost 100 years since then, thousands of Scouts have been a part of the Barton tradition of fun, Scouting and year-round activity. We moved to Frontenac in 1927, and the fun has continued on the lake and in the nearly 130 acres of woods and fields.

Camp Barton is a great place for units to hold their monthly camping trips, or scouting families to have a weekend getaway, some of which have beautiful view of Cayuga Lake in the background. Short Term facilities are available from the weekend after Labor Day in September until the middle of June.

The Baden-Powell Council is excited to be working with the Camp Barton Staff Alumni Association to provide camping opportunities at Camp Barton for Summer 2024! Click the link below for more information!
