Sundays are a little different at Camp Deerhorn. We all relish the extra hour of sleep we get, as we eat breakfast at 9am instead of 8. This morning’s breakfast was egg casserole and hash browns. After breakfast, kids enjoyed some free time, which is pretty rare at Deerhorn! Some staff organized a game of […]

The sun is shining, the afternoon warmed to a perfect 75 degrees, and camp is in full swing. Breakfast was biscuits and gravy and bacon, and lunch was chicken gyros and homemade hummus and pita chips. I could tell you how much fun kids are having at camp today, or I could just show you. […]

How excited are kids to be back at Deerhorn for C session? 5:15am in the morning excited. There were already kids on the courts playing tennis and basketball at 5:15am this morning. Our bell rings at 7:15am. Clearly, there’s no time to waste! We had waffles and ham for breakfast. Kids headed back to their […]

Of all the sessions, C might be our favorite. It’s just really great to get to spend three full weeks with this group of kids and be able to settle into even more of a routine. The other three just seem to fly by so fast! We had 35 kids stay over from B session, […]

And here we are, at the end of another 2021 session. Where does time go? We had our awards breakfast this morning  and gave out patches for Most Improved in each activity, patches for stars earned, rifle sharpshooter awards, and lots of others! Our Sharpshooter awards went to Luke Wiese for juniors, Robbie Scarborough for […]

Busy day around here! This morning was the last three activity periods of B session.  We were grateful that the sun shone this morning and the rain held off until this afternoon. As you can see from the photos, kids had a blast all morning in activities! After chili dogs for lunch, kids headed back […]

Whew! It’s another hot one here at Camp Deerhorn! By the afternoon, Sports and Games and Horseback Riding headed down to the waterfront for some water jousting to cool off in the 90 degree temperatures. Kids also had fun going down the waterslide, playing on the sailboards, and just swimming in the A-dock. Breakfast was […]

WHEW! What a full day it has been! We got to sleep in an hour this morning and have breakfast at 9, and our morning was a little lazier with some camper free time. But the rest of the day was packed full! Breakfast was doughnuts and sausage, lunch was tacos, and dinner was burgers […]

The temperature reached almost 90 today, making for great waterfront weather! We had blueberry pancakes and bacon for breakfast, and chicken ranch wraps for lunch. Activities are in full swing and kids met after lunch with their teams to prepare for tomorrow’s Sunday event. The Pioneers checked in today that all is well with them, […]

Our Pioneers left early this morning on their 8 day backpacking expedition along the Ice Age Trail. They were all super excited to go, and even had friends who woke up early to see them off! We can’t wait to hear all about their trip when they return next Friday! Back at camp, it was […]
