Barretstown is a residential camp for children with a serious illness offering a range of adventurous and challenging activities and supported behind the scenes by safe, medical attention and care.

Camp provides a break from hospitals, white coats and medical treatment and a chance for sick children to be children again: to have fun, to make new friends and create new memories - all within the beautiful and magical setting of Barretstown castle in the Kildare countryside


The Avonmore Big Picnic for Barretstown is an easy and fun way of raising much needed funds for Barretstown. This summer why not invite your friends and family to a picnic and get donations from everyone who comes along. You can invite any amount of people and you can donate as little or as much as you can. Every €1 makes a difference.

So have a picnic this summer and make a difference!
