There is Always a Plan
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.

More Fun in the Sun!
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 […]
Monkey Madness
Today was a Deeley Day, which is a day 7 in each session that is a break in the routine for a really fun day at Deerhorn…And today was the best yet! We got to sleep in an extra hour and have breakfast at 9am. After breakfast, kids enjoyed some rare free time around camp. […]
The Return of the Voyagers

Sports and Games played Ultimate Frisbee on the soccer field, and basketball and horseback riding moved to the waterfront for the afternoon. Tennis got creative with some squirt guns and water balloons to try to beat the heat. There […]
Koogees & Swim Ball

Brothers and Buddies

Back in the Sunshine
After yesterday’s rain, we were glad to wake up to beautiful sunny skies and 67 degrees that warmed to a perfect mid-80’s. It was a gorgeous, blue sky day at camp. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, bacon, and french toast sticks. Lunch was burgers, and dinner was delicious pot roast, mashed potatoes, and ice cream sandwiches […]
2026 C Session Teams
What a weird and wild weather day at Deerhorn! When we woke up this morning, it was pouring rain, so the first two activity periods pivoted to rainy day plans. By third period, it had stopped so we were able to announce teams and pass out team shirts. That’s always an exciting day at Deerhorn! […]
C is Here!
We had 43 kids stay over from B session and today one HUNDRED kids arrived for C session! Camp is full and the energy is palpable. We ran activities all day in temporary activity groups based on age, like tennis, archery, and volleyball. As kids arrived by car, they settled into their koogees and then […]
