Sundays are definitely fun days at Camp Deerhorn! While most of us were excited to sleep in an extra hour, the Spike Bucks said “No, thanks! We just got here and there’s no time to waste!” Most of them were up this morning around 5am…three hours before the bell rang! They were busy playing tennis, […]

Today we welcomed 11 1st year campers who are between the ages of 7 and 10. It’s our E session, but we affectionately call them our Spike Bucks. And just like our C7 campers last week, these kids hit the ground running and are ready for an awesome week! They moved into their koogees this  […]

We woke this morning to blue skies and sunshine and yet another 80 degree day. The lake water has warmed up so nicely with all the sunshine we’ve had and it’s perfect for swimming and all of our other water sports! Breakfast was waffles and ham, lunch was tacos, and we’re all excited for pizza […]

It’s so fun when we announce that we’re doing brother pictures and kids show up en masse. Not just real brothers and cousins, but groups of kids who consider themselves brothers through their friendship at Deerhorn. Boys who typically don’t like having their picture taken show up to get one with their buddies. (Though there […]

The day dawned sunny and warm and we were able to enjoy at least half a day of regular activities before the rain came around 2:00. Kids swam, played on the beach, sailed, kayaked, and skied, enjoying the morning of perfect waterfront weather. The Voyagers spent the first half of the afternoon food packing for […]

It was another beautiful day at Deerhorn today! Perfect Northern Wisconsin weather, cool morning warming to sunshine perfection. And we’ve had so much sunshine this summer that the lake has warmed up beautifully as well! Breakfast this morning was sausage, egg, and cheese croissant sandwiches and tater tots. (Everybody loves the tots!) Lunch was slopping […]

We are loving this beautiful weather! It gets down in the 50s at night, which is great for sleeping, but warms to a perfect sunny 80 degrees each day! The waterfront was hopping today as kids had fun kayaking, sailing, swimming, and playing water basketball! Sports and Games played Balcoball today, which is yet another […]

Sundays are a little different at Camp Deerhorn. We all relish the extra hour of sleep we get, as we eat breakfast at 9am instead of 8. This morning’s breakfast was egg casserole and hash browns. After breakfast, kids enjoyed some free time, which is pretty rare at Deerhorn! Some staff organized a game of […]

The sun is shining, the afternoon warmed to a perfect 75 degrees, and camp is in full swing. Breakfast was biscuits and gravy and bacon, and lunch was chicken gyros and homemade hummus and pita chips. I could tell you how much fun kids are having at camp today, or I could just show you. […]

How excited are kids to be back at Deerhorn for C session? 5:15am in the morning excited. There were already kids on the courts playing tennis and basketball at 5:15am this morning. Our bell rings at 7:15am. Clearly, there’s no time to waste! We had waffles and ham for breakfast. Kids headed back to their […]
