We love day 7 of each session, as we break out of our routine for a Special Day at Deerhorn. We sleep in an extra hour and then have breakfast at 9 instead of 8. After breakfast, kids had some (rare) free time around camp to do free choice activities like street hockey, ultimate frisbee, […]

It was another action-packed day at Deerhorn!  Sports and Games played flag football on the soccer field. Breakfast was doughnuts and muffins and bacon, lunch was homemade pizza and caesar salad, and dinner was baked chicken and potatoes with strawberry shortcake for dessert. It’s hard to believe we are already halfway through E session! We […]

it was another gorgeous sunny day at Deerhorn! Sports and Games played Star Wars on DK Field. It’s yet another Deerhorn game that definitely involves dodgeball. (pretty much all of the made up games involve some form of dodgeball! 😉 There is footage of Star Wars on our IG and FB stories. Breakfast was egg […]

What a great day at Deerhorn! It was another warm sunny day at camp, and there were lots of trips down the slide, Rave launches, sailing, skiing, kayaking, and playing with the dogs in the water. Of course, there were lots of other activities too, but the waterfront was hopping with action all day. Breakfast […]

While we have enjoyed the warmer days that this summer has brought, there is something quintessential Northwoods about waking up to a cool morning and needing some layers at breakfast. Those layers quickly got shed today as it warmed up nicely again! We are grateful to not have the heat and humidity of last week. […]

It was another warm sunny day at camp. Breakfast was chocolate chip pancakes and bacon, lunch was grilled cheese and tomato soup, and dinner was homemade chicken tenders and tater tots. It was a banner day of Deerhorn meals! Kids had three activity periods this morning, and the third one was let out early so […]

They’ve waited all summer and their session is finally here! Some kids arrived throughout the day by car and they joined activity groups by age, doing activities like sprout ball and world cup soccer. After lunch, the kids who arrived by car took their swim tests and then joined everyone else in activities while we […]

That picture. That picture tells the story better than I ever could. On the last day of each session, tears flow freely. It’s pretty magical to watch boys be able to express their emotions without worry about what others will think. It’s mostly the older campers, since they’ve been at camp for longer and really […]

Well, somehow here we are at the last full day of D session! It was another hot one at camp, but the sun was shining and the sky was blue, which is way better than the last day of C when it poured all afternoon. We’ll take it! This morning was the last three activity […]

When the temperature reaches almost 90 in the Northwoods, you know where you’ll find us! The waterfront was busy all day on this last full day of activities. There was lots of action on the Rave, down the slide, and swimming inside the A-Dock. Kids are working on those last few stars in activities before […]
