We woke up this morning to more sunshine and blue skies, ready to get C session started. After breakfast of breakfast sandwiches and hash browns, the kids who stayed over were divided into temporary activity groups to do things like basketball and ultimate frisbee. We had three periods of activities this morning before having roast […]

The awards breakfast always sneaks up on us…the sessions fly by, and suddenly it’s time to wrap things up! At our awards breakfast this morning, we passed out lots of awards for Most Improved in each activity, as well as patches earned for stars in activities. Riflery high score “Sharpshooter” awards went to Canon Farrer […]

Two weeks surely does go by fast around here. Our B session ends tomorrow and it’s been a great one.

After a breakfast this morning of make-your-own breakfast tacos, kids headed off to the last […]

Well, friends, it was another beautiful day at Deerhorn. Sunshine, blue skies, temps in the 80s. We definitely can’t complain about the weather this session. Today was the last full day of regular activities, as tomorrow’s schedule is a little bit different. Kids worked hard today to earn those last stars in activities, both for […]

This morning we are all a little tired from the exciting events of the past two nights, with the hockey game followed by the 4th of July. We managed to get the fireworks in before a brief storm came through, so we were grateful for that! The sun is shining again in the blue sky […]

Days at camp are always full of fun, but the 4th of July takes it to a whole new level! The dining room is decorated, kids are decked out in red, white, and blue, and we sing patriotic songs at meals.  Kids were fired up today to celebrate the 4th. We had waffles for breakfast, […]
