I'm no I.T. expert by any means, but I have set up wireless networks before.
I would think that you could use a good and powerful wireless router at the point of origin, bounce it off some kind of repeater antenna/router, and then be able to get the signal where you want it.
One problem I see is that you have lots of trees. You know this all works best when there are less restrictions in place. That is probably going to slow you signal down the most. I know they make both indoor and outdoor antennas that are more powerful. Maybe a combo of both would resolve your dilema. I know that I once bought better antennas for my old G router, and they only seemed to marginally increase the signal strength (and that's inside a house). I now have a different router and am very happy with it. It definetly trumps my old router by a ton. It's a Linksys SRX. It has probably twice the power my old Linksys G did.
Maybe you could install an outdoor repeater antenna somewhere near that dock which looks pretty open and centralized. From there, the signal would possibly reach the other buildings easier than trying to send it thru the woods first. Just an idea.
I would go to an electronics store like Fry's where they have a really large selection of both routers, antennas, and such. I'm sure you should be able to make it work some how.
