We are having so much fun this session! The weather will warm back up by this weekend, but the cooler nights have been great for sleeping! Sports and Games played Star Wars on the baseball field. Star Wars is just one of many crazy made-up Deerhorn games that kids love. Most of them involve some […]

It has been so hot for so long that we were all super excited when we woke up to cooler temperatures today! It was 66 when we woke up and the high only reached 67! It was cloudy and breezy, but it was a welcome break from the heat and humidity (and air quality!) we’ve […]

Hooray for a MUCH improved air quality! The breeze blew off the lake all day, bringing welcome relief from the heat and helping move the smoke along. Hopefully we’re through the worst of it and can get back to business as usual! They were calling for storms today as well, but nothing has materialized. We […]

D Session energy means lots of kids awake before 6am, ready to get the day started! They were up playing tennis, tetherball, basketball. There’s too much fun to be had to stay in bed until 7:15am! We had cinnamon rolls, bacon, and scrambled eggs for breakfast. After breakfast, kids cleaned up their koogee, then headed […]

D Session has arrived! The 31 kids who stayed over from C had a great time yesterday on their changeover trip to Minocqua and woke this morning ready to get D session started! We had pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon for breakfast. We divided kids into temporary activity groups by age just for the day. […]

The end of a session is always sad, saying goodbye to our friends. But C Session goodbyes are always the hardest. It’s the session most of our Voyagers leave, and this year we had 22 amazing kids doing the Voyager program. For most of them, it’s their last summer as a camper, and the end […]

“Life is what happens when you’re planning something else.” As I mentioned yesterday, there is always a plan…and sometimes that plan changes…again…and again..and again. 🙂 We understand your concern about the air quality issue, and it sounds like those of you in Chicago experienced today what we had yesterday. We’ve also heard that there are […]

For those of you watching the Rhinelander weather from home, we know you have concerns about our air quality today. There are wildfires in the Boundary Waters in Minnesota and Canada, and even 7 hours away, those fires are affecting our air quality. Please know that we watch the weather like a hawk, which includes […]

Whew! It was another hot one at Deerhorn, so the waterfront was once again the place to be. Basketball and  horseback riding came down to the waterfront and other activities beat the heat with water, like squirt guns and water balloons in tennis and slip & slide kickball in Sports and Games. (But let’s be […]
