We really love Sundays at Camp Deerhorn. The other six days of the week are much more scheduled, with much less free time. Sundays allow a little flexibility and a little free choice. But the most popular part of Sundays is the fact that we wake up an hour later! Sunday mornings there are games […]

Our Voyagers left yesterday, off on their grand adventure. While they are gone, we bring in 10 kids who are 7-10 years old and coming to camp for the first time. We call this session our E session, or “Spike Bucks.” They arrived today with their parents, some nervous, but all excited. We love introducing […]

Our Voyagers were up bright and early this morning to head off on their kayaking adventure. They were greeted at the bus by a ton of friends, there to wish them bon voyage. It’s pretty awesome to see how many kids show up to see them off. They are heading to the Apostle Islands National […]

This week marks the halfway point in the summer, and it’s also one of the busiest…which, at camp, is saying a lot! Our Voyagers leave Friday, so there is all kinds of prep going on for that. The Lake Superior Trip leaves tomorrow and will return on Wednesday. And the weather has decided to throw […]

Sundays are a little different at Camp Deerhorn. We are always excited to get to sleep in an extra hour and have breakfast at 9. (french toast and ham) After breakfast today, teams met for team meetings to prepare for this afternoon’s big Sunday event. Spencer Ellerbusch gave the Words of Wisdom in the lodge […]

After some rain yesterday afternoon and evening, we woke to sunny skies once again.
