Camp in South of England with brick dorms, outdoor swimming pool and woodland adventure course, 1988 (2)

Series of photos from the same location. This was a trip with the youth club of a church in Ampthill, Bedfordshire. My mother still goes to the church and has asked a couple of people where this camp was. Bromham or Sevenoaks have been suggested.Bromham doesn't look a good match because there is no pool and the buildings are in the woods rather than out in the open. I found reference to the Woodlands holiday camp in Sevenoaks, but that seems to have been more of a 50s and 60s thing. One similarity with Woodlands is that the pool has one side with higher ground and a retaining wall, but that's about it. Buildings may be WW2 or soon after. Prior use as an army camp maybe? Best guess location is Woodlands but I really don't know.
