Wrapping Up

Time sure does fly when you’re having fun! Today was the last full day of activities for A session and kids were busy having fun and  working toward those final stars.  Tomorrow afternoon’s schedule is a little bit different, so today was the last day that these kids will have afternoon activities. Today’s weather was […]


Sundays Are Fun Days

Sundays are a little different at Camp Deerhorn! We get to sleep in an extra hour and have breakfast at 9. That announcement the night before always elicits a dining room full of cheers! We had french toast and sausage for breakfast, and after breakfast kids enjoyed some rare free time around camp. Some hung […]


Pictures and Words

I could tell you about the delicious pancakes we had for breakfast this morning, that we are thrilled the sun continues to shine and temps are in the 80s, or that Sports and Games played ultimate frisbee today. Or I could just let the pictures speak for themselves. They tell a much better story than […]


Lots More Sun & Koogee Fun

Hooray for sunshine and warmer temperatures! While the morning dawned chilly, it didn’t take long to warm up to almost 80. Sports and Games played Balco Ball today, which is a Deerhorn made up game involving wiffle ball in the outfield of the baseball field. Our counselors have made up so many games over the […]


Fun in Fleece

If you’ve been watching our weather, you’ll know that today was once again on the chilly side. Yesterday was great, and then today we’ve bottomed out again. 🙂 Some people choose to come in August rather than June because they think that it’s cold in June and hot in August, but it’s just not that […]


2023 A Session Teams!

We were all so grateful to wake up this morning to warmer temperatures that continued to climb throughout the day. We finished all of our swim tests today and kids were ready to head out to swim, ski, sail, and canoe. Breakfast this morning was scrambled eggs, sausage, and potatoes. Lunch was grilled cheese, fries, […]


Chilly & Silly

After weeks of sunshine and warmth, these past few days have not exactly been what we would have hoped for to start the A session. Today it has been in the 50s and raining on and off throughout the day. However, while many of us are wrapped in fleece and sweatpants, there are some hardy […]


A Session is Finally Here!

We made it! It’s the day that all of our A session kids have been waiting for. The buses have arrived, everyone is settled into their koogees, and they are off having fun in activities! We had 38 kids stay over from our second Father Son session, and they spent the day doing activities like […]


My Heart Might Just Explode

Our second Father Son Camp wrapped up this morning. It was another amazing four days spent with dads and kids who are warm, kind, and fun-loving. We had 38 kids stay over with us tonight for our A session that starts tomorrow. They spent the afternoon swimming and having pizza at the Waters of Minocqua, […]


Grateful for Good Weather

Today’s forecast didn’t look great. It was supposed to rain most of the day, but we woke up this morning with no rain in the forecast! The sun peeked through the clouds on and off throughout the day, and it turned into a really nice day for our guided fishing. We were just so glad […]
