HRCA Holiday Happenings “There’s no place like home for the holidays!” This is especially true of Highlands Ranch. HRCA has events, classes, and activities to keep your family and guests entertained throughout the season. Community Events - Kick off the season with Hometown Holiday and Winter Market on December 7 at Town Center South. This free, fun-filled evening includes the lighting of the new Community Christmas tree, “Joy”! Also enjoy caroling, food, crafts, a winter market, and pictures with Santa, all free of charge! Enjoy Chamber Music for the Holidays on December 13 at the Highlands Ranch Mansion. Tickets are on sale now and will go quick. On December 15, create another
magical memory with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Breakfast with Santa. For many, a favorite holiday tradition is viewing homes decorated in festive lights. Submit your house to be included on our Holiday House Decorating map. Entries should include a photo of their brightly lit homes and can be submitted online at www.HRCAonline.org/Holidayhouse. The addresses and photos will be posted on HRCAonline.org/Happenings with a map showing the location. Highlands Ranch residents can then use the map to view their favorite holiday house.
Holiday Hayrides: On December 15, bring the family to Backcountry Base Camp for some fresh air and fun! Get in the holiday spirit on a Backcountry horse-drawn hayride followed by hot cocoa by the campfire. If weather or bad roads prevent us from doing the hayride, a meet-and-greet
and festive photo opportunity with Bella and Buster–our two Percheron draft horses–will replace the hayride. Available at Noon and 1:00 p.m.
Activities and Classes - Stay inside and create memories by making holidaythemed art, crafts, and treats. Adults will enjoy art and pottery projects. Little ones will learn to make Christmas and winter crafts, snacks, and more with Holiday Art, Crafts, and Cooking Classes.
Holiday Break Camps - Help your kids stay active over the Winter Break at Basketball Camp, Day Camp, Specialty Camps, and a Special Needs Winter Break Sports Camp. Find a complete list of camps at www.HRCAonline.org/Break-Camps. Visit www.HRCAonline.org/Happenings for details on these activities and more!
