Pugawagan
“Many moons ago, the mighty Sioux settled a beautiful, magical land full of plentiful resources and a great view of the three stars: red, blue, and gold. This land was called Conestoga. On it, the Sioux thrived and grew strong and wise for many generations. Then, all of a sudden, they mysteriously and silently vanished. […]

Koogee Life
Kids love living in a koogee. For many campers, it’s their favorite part of camp. That top bunk is a much-coveted position for a lot of younger kids, and for many campers their best part of the day is simply hanging out in their koogee. It’s where many memories are made and friendships formed. […]
Determination
Deerhorn definitely has a focus on fun, and as a photographer, I love capturing those fun moments, those huge smiles, those looks of sheer delight. But there is also a lot of hard work that happens at Deerhorn, and I love capturing those moments too. A couple of days ago, on the blog, I talked […]
A Boy’s Life
Where else can you play ice hockey in the morning and get launched off the Rave in the sunshine in the afternoon? It’s quite a life these boys have at Deerhorn, and quite the gift you, as parents, have given them. You have given them the freedom to explore new interests, the safe place to make […]

After a day of rain yesterday, this morning dawned bright and beautiful (albeit a little chilly!). The lake was calm, which made for perfect skiing this morning, and later there was even enough wind for sailing. Kids in morning activities had a little trouble motivating to get in the lake, but by the afternoon it had […]
What Rain?
So….we’d like to say that it never rains at Deerhorn…but our Creed tells us to “speak the truth.” Today was definitely a rainy day at camp, but it was one of the first ones we have had in a long time, and honestly, kids usually seem to welcome the downtime from the fast-paced, action packed, typical […]
Chariots of Fire
It’s been a fantastic, fun-filled Sunday at camp. We all love sleeping in an extra hour on Sunday mornings, and who doesn’t love cinnamon toast for breakfast? After breakfast, kids enjoyed some free time to hang out with their friends, play ultimate frisbee, or street hockey on the Skeeter. At noon, Bear gave the Words […]
