Camp Longhorn
More than 80 years ago, founders Tex and Pat Robertson created Camp Longhorn on the shores of Inks Lake and made it a camp like no other. Kids have fun all day, gain confidence in themselves, and forge lifelong friendships as they eat, sleep and play together, returning summer after summer. In 1975, Camp Longhorn Indian Springs opened its gates nearby, nestled on scenic property with two private, spring-fed lakes. In 2016, a third branch, C3 on Inks Lake that neighbors the original camp, welcomed children to its shores. Family run, all three camps share the same Camp Longhorn spirit and traditions.
