The Sweetest Goodbyes

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 […]


Stags & Stars

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 […]


Beating the Heat

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 […]


S’Mores, Skiing, and Smiles

Kids had so much fun at the campfire last night, singing songs and making s’mores and hanging out with their friends. Today was the last full day of activities for this set of activities, since Sunday’s schedule will be a little different. It was another hot and sunny day here at Deerhorn, so the waterfront […]


Eagles Win Pug

Day 7 at Camp Deerhorn is definitely a favorite…especially since we get to sleep in an extra hour! The bell rings at 8:15 and we have breakfast at 9. This morning it was scrambled eggs and potatoes. After breakfast, kids got some rare free time at camp. There were optional activities running all morning, like […]


Brothers & Friends

It was cloudy and overcast this morning when we woke up, but the rain luckily held off until around 2:00. Kids got to have regular activities this morning, and Sports and Games played football on the soccer field. Breakfast was doughnuts, muffins, and bacon, and lunch was delicious homemade pizza and caesar salad. Every activity […]


D Koogee Fun

It was a cloudy day at camp, but definitely warmer than it has been recently. Meals were great today, with burritos for breakfast, tortellini and homemade focaccia for lunch, and Thanksgiving for dinner with brownies for dessert. We are all stuffed after dinner! Sports and Games played Klepton on the soccer field today…another Deerhorn game, […]


A Beautiful Day in our Neighborhood

We are really enjoying the change in weather from last session. It’s supposed to get hot again next week, but for now we are soaking in the cooler, less humid nighttimes, better for sleeping, and the warm sunny days that aren’t swelteringly hot. Breakfast this morning was french toast sticks and bacon, and lunch was […]


Making Friends and Having Fun

Day three of the D session, and everyone is settling into the routine. Kids had their other six activities today, so they’ll get orientations for those activities today and then be off and running. Sports and Games is playing Quidditch on the soccer field today. There aren’t any flying brooms, but there is a “Golden […]


Teams are Pumped!

Today was the first full day of activities for D session and it was a busy one. Kids have six activity periods every other day, and the other six on opposite days. The only activity they have every day is Sports and Games, because we combine two activity groups to play team sports and crazy […]
