After some time away, a month-long battle with the flu and months of waiting on the insurance company we have some answers for our future. 

We will be open this summer, however we will not have any of the burnt structures replaced by that time. We have received word from our insurance provider that we only have $25,000 for burnt tree removal. We have decided to use that amount to purchase some equipment to help us deal with the trees.

We now have the go-ahead to begin cutting the trees down ourselves. VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED! If you have chainsaw skill and can give us a hand, please contact the camp.

We are also in the process of determining exactly how we will rebuild. It is our desire to turn tragedy into celebration as we build a better Buckhorn Camp. At this time, of course, we will be focused on opening in May. However, in the months to come we should be ready to reveal some of the new ideas we have for the future. Your comments are welcome. Please contact the camp with any suggestions you may have. 

Things are looking up for the future of Buckhorn Camp! 


...weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalms 30:5
