Outdoor Complex
Located just a short walk from Hartley Holmes Lodge, the outdoor complex–known as Camp Buxton–is home to our signature outdoor programs: Rocky Mountain High, Father Teen Adventure, and Climb Together.
Rocky Mountain High
Rocky Mountain High (RMH) is an outdoor adventure program where we connect college-aged men and women with Christian military officers from all service branches. The purpose of the program is to demonstrate Christ-like service to those who are just taking their first steps into military leadership.
Father Teen Adventure
Father Teen Adventure (FTA) is an outdoor program where dads and their teenage sons or daughters can come connect in the mountains. Led by an experienced mentor, Father-Son and Father-Daughter involve a week of fun, excitement, and deep, heart-to-heart discussions between dads and their teens.
Climb Together
Climb Together (CT) is tailored for parents and their 8-13 year old children. The focus of the program is to emphasize “climbing life’s mountains together” for both parents and their kids. CT involves lots of fun including challenge courses that emphasize teamwork, problem solving, fireside chats, indoor climbing, stargazing, and short hikes.
Hardsides
Camp Buxton also features 6 Hardside cabins built between 2015 and 2022 that could make a great setting for a rustic, outdoor-geared retreat in the fall or late spring. With 4 sets of sturdy bunk beds with new mattresses, heaters and electricity, these cabins each have a capacity of 8. The Hardsides are located around the Buxton Bathhouse where water and bathing facilities are available, and a firepit is nearby as well. Bedding is not provided and there are no cooking facilities.
