We are really enjoying the change in weather from last session. It’s supposed to get hot again next week, but for now we are soaking in the cooler, less humid nighttimes, better for sleeping, and the warm sunny days that aren’t swelteringly hot. Breakfast this morning was french toast sticks and bacon, and lunch was […]

Day three of the D session, and everyone is settling into the routine. Kids had their other six activities today, so they’ll get orientations for those activities today and then be off and running. Sports and Games is playing Quidditch on the soccer field today. There aren’t any flying brooms, but there is a “Golden […]

Today was the first full day of activities for D session and it was a busy one. Kids have six activity periods every other day, and the other six on opposite days. The only activity they have every day is Sports and Games, because we combine two activity groups to play team sports and crazy […]

Our first day of D Session dawned cool but sunny. We had bagels for breakfast, and the kids who stayed over from C session were divided up into temporary activity groups by grade, just for the day while we waited for the buses and for kids to arrive by car. They did activities like sprout […]

And just like that…ten days has flown by and our C session is over. Luckily, the day dawned bright and beautiful after all of our rain yesterday. It was definitely much cooler than it has been, though, and we all welcome the change. We had our awards breakfast this morning to cap off C session. […]

Well, we’ve been really lucky this session with the weather. For the most part, it has been warm and sunny, with very little rain. Unfortunately, that luck ran out this afternoon, as it started raining after lunch and didn’t quit until after dinner. That definitely put a kink in our usual plans! Breakfast this morning […]

It was another gorgeous day at Camp Deerhorn! It was definitely another hot and humid one, so water activities were the favorite place to be today. Breakfast was blueberry pancakes and sausage and lunch was cheese quesadillas…definitely both crowd pleasers! Today was the last full day of activities for this session, as tomorrow’s schedule is […]

Every day 7 at Deerhorn is a special day, but today’s was extra special! The Monkey Relays have been happening at Deerhorn since 1930. They start in the lodge with someone from each team blowing a ping pong ball across the floor. That kicks off the grandaddy of all relay races! Every activity in camp […]

I write a blog most days of the summer, talking about the weather, the food, the activities. And no matter the words I use, they often feel inadequate to fully convey the magic that is Deerhorn. So I could tell you that it was doughnuts for breakfast this morning, and homemade pizza and caesar salad […]

It was another beautiful day at Deerhorn! Our nights and mornings have been cooler these last few days, which is great for sleeping. (Not cold, just not warm and muggy like they have been in recent weeks) Breakfast this morning was scrambled eggs and potatoes, and lunch was homemade mac and cheese and garlic bread. […]
