Thanksgiving Camp
Challenger Peak: Thanksgiving Family Camp - November 24-27, 2010
Thanksgiving Camp at Horn Creek is a wonderful tradition and a special way to spend Thanksgiving with friends and family. Held this year at the Horn Creek Lodge facility, this 3-day camp will be anchored by a traditional Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings.
We'll also have all the normal Horn Creek Family Camp style fun including recreation, horseback riding, nightly activities, and great teaching from Horn Creek speaker Mark Yarbrough. And yes, we'll watch a little football too.

In his spare time he enjoys writing, watching baseball games, following the Mavericks and Cowboys, and doing “farm” chores at their home.

Their mobile daycare keeps everyone on their toes – and gives ample opportunities to serve and display patience!
Camping at The Lodge
The Horn Creek Lodge is a high mounting alpine lodge facility with 40 years of history. This beautiful facility has as its hub a large living-room style meeting space and a beautiful dining room with a panoramic view of Horn Peak! Newly remodeled hotel lodge style rooms make up the two wings of this traditional building.
In addition to the lodge rooms are four separate large cabins, ideal for larger families or small groups that want to room together.
The dining room is always open for late night snacking and game playing, and the meeting space is a great place to hang out, play games, or read a book. Both the dining hall and meeting room have large fireplaces, and the meeting room has full multi-media capabilities with a huge projection screen.
The Lodge also has its own hot-tub room and is just up the hill, a short walk, from the Horn Creek Recreation Center.
