Today was a very exciting day at Deerhorn! Every year, while our Voyagers are out of camp for 8 days on their expedition, we host a 1 week session for 7-10 year olds who are coming to camp for the first time. We affectionately call them our Spike Bucks. Today, 18 VERY excited kids arrived […]

The day is finally here! After weeks of preparation and months of anticipation, our Voyagers finally got on the road this morning for their 8 day expedition. They traveled 6 hours north to Voyageurs National Park to spend the next 8 days sea kayaking. They were so excited that the day was finally here! They […]

We had 33 C10 kids leave this morning, so camp was a LOT quieter this afternoon! It was pretty great to hear those kids tell their parents that 10 days was just not long enough, and they wanted to come back for longer next summer. Some kids who had some tears at the beginning, because […]

Today was one of the day our Voyagers look forward to the most…food packing day! After a morning spent at Wal-mart, and two full grocery carts, I gathered the Voyagers in the lodge after lunch to pack up their food for their trip. You know boys…the way to their hearts is through their stomach! 😉 […]

We love taking Deerhorn brother pictures. It’s always fun to see who shows up with their friends and wants to have their photo taken together! All of our brother pictures are posted both on SmugMug and our Facebook page. We apologize if you have brothers at camp and they aren’t in the photos. We make […]

Sundays are a little different at Camp Deerhorn, and we all welcome the change in routine. We sleep in an extra hour and have breakfast at 9am. This morning’s breakfast was french toast and sausage. Sunday mornings, kids enjoy some rare free time around camp. There are usually games of ultimate frisbee and basketball that […]

Sports and Games played Star Wars on the baseball field today. It’s yet another crazy game invented by our counselors. You’ll have to ask your camper […]
