A Great Send Off!

We awoke to rain this morning, so that delayed our baggage pick up until after breakfast. However, we still managed to get the buses off on time at 11am. This morning’s awards breakfast was another great one! We passed out lots of awards including patches earned for stars, and most improved patches in each activity. […]


Time Flies…

…when you’re having fun. And it’s hard to believe that B session is already over. Two weeks flew by in a blink. We enjoyed more sun, more warmth, and more blue skies today. Kids had their last three periods of activities this morning, working on earning those last few stars for their teams. Breakfast was […]


Friends and Family

The sun was out again today as campers enjoyed their last full day of activities. Tomorrow morning they will have regular activities, but the afternoon will be a little bit different. Sports and Games played a game called Klepton, which is kind of like a twist on Capture the Flag. They save it for the […]


The Show Must Go On

While the weather did not exactly cooperate today, the rain did nothing to dampen the spirits of our “Olympians.” This afternoon was the Olympics, and kids competed for their teams in everything from tennis to soccer to track and field. The morning was fine weather, and after chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, kids had some […]


A Kind Word

One of the lines of the Deerhorn Creed says “To win modestly, lose gracefully, and have a kind word for the opposing side.” You would be amazed to see this in action around camp on a daily basis…but nowhere is it more amazing to watch than on the Scalp field. Scalp is everyone’s favorite game […]


Cheers and Chants

We had a GREAT time at the hockey game last night! The hockey rink makes more in concessions in one night hosting Camp Deerhorn than it does the entire rest of the year! But once kids had their snacks, they  headed back into the stands to cheer for their favorite counselor, hoping he would score […]


Friendship and Fun

This day is packed full! For a day that began with a 60% chance of thunderstorms later in the afternoon, the blue skies have prevailed and it’s turn into the most beautiful, warm, sunny day at Deerhorn. We had pancakes for breakfast this morning, and pizza bagels for lunch. (Definitely a camp favorite!) Our hockey […]


Hockey and Relays

Our five day ice hockey program started Monday, and kids have been having a blast! They skate for a few hours each morning, and then do regular activities in the afternoon. Our coaches, Rock, DJ, and KJ, have been with our program since its inception, over 20 years, and we love having them back each […]


A Fabulous Fourth!

Happy 4th of July from Camp Deerhorn! It’s a great place to spend the holiday, that’s for sure! We had muffins for breakfast and the dining room was decorated in red, white, and blue. We have been singing the Star Spangled Banner, as well as “Bappy Hirthday, Ear Damerica!” Lunch was corn dogs and macaroni […]


More Fun, More Sunshine

It was another beautiful day at Camp Deerhorn! We had scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast, chili for lunch, and tortellini for dinner. Sports and Games played Balcoball on the baseball field, which is basically a whiffle ball baseball game in the outfield. Tonight was big excitement in the dining room because after dinner it […]
