Elkhorn Lodge is linked to Buckhorn Lodge by a board walkway, making both buildings handicap accessible.

Elkhorn Lodge also offers incredible views of the Eastern plains and some amazing sunrises from its two decks and large windows!

BUCKHORN LODGE

Buckhorn Lodge is the original lodge built in the '40's. With wooden floors and log walls, it has rustic charm year-round.

The main room in the lodge can seat up to 100, with an oversized fireplace as the feature point of the room.

The Game Room is also located in the Lodge, with activities like ping-pong, carpetball, and air hockey to keep you entertained during a passing thunderstorm.

There's also a small breakout meeting space located at the back of the Lodge.

MAIN CABINS

Our main cabins are some of the original buildings of the camp.

These rustic log mountain cabins are duplex-style, with 9 cabins sleeping up to 12 in bunks for a capacity of 108. Each cabin side has a bathroom and shower and a stone fireplace. Cabin 12 is set up as a "speakers cabin," sleeping 2 on each side.

The cabins surround Buckhorn Lodge creating a central area and making it ideal for a family camp.

BEAR PAW BARN

Wondering how Bear Paw Barn got its name? You won't have to look much further than the front door, where a Colorado black bear left its paw print when it was sniffing out a late-night snack! This large, multipurpose space is perfect for a wide range of activities. Equipped with electricity and a project screen, the barn can be a great space for indoor worship or meetings. And no need to fret - with windows on every wall, you won't miss out on the panoramic views of the beautiful mountain background! 

Note: This room can be set with wooden benches or round tables and chairs for a custom layout tailored to your group's needs.

MINER'S CABIN

The Miner's Cabin is located west of the main cabins. The miner's cabin has a beautiful view of mountain ranges from the back and is flexible space that can be used for a variety of event purposes.

Outdoor Spaces

Nothing is better at the end of the day than a sing-a-long down at the campfire. 

There are many campfire areas throughout camp, including a new, covered firepit that provides options on particularly dry, windy or rainy days, and a firepit surrounded by porch swings!

Hidden away down a little noticed path is Buckhorn's favorite meeting place: the Green Cathedral. This area offers a wooden stage with benches that will hold a large group. The stage has a rustic podium and large wooden cross, with an expansive view of the valley and Mummy Range as a backdrop.

This is the perfect venue for a sunrise or sunset service, as the sun sets behind this range.

The pond is a wonderful place to read a book or watch the geese swim and dive.

We offer paddleboarding as a programmed activity, ask about it when you book your retreat!

At Buckhorn we offer an actual rock face climbing area. When our campers or guests reach the top they know they have done the real thing! 
​
The cliff section of rock that we use for climbing isn't very big, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in quality, variety, and having something for everyone. There are both short and tall climbs, easy ones that most everyone can succeed at and hard ones where most will have trouble, and just a great setting for a group to come together.
