March 1 Deerhorn Update
It always feels hopeful when we turn the calendar to March. The days are getting longer, and we’ve made it through a dark, cold winter, though it will be many more weeks before all the snow is gone at camp! We are still busily planning for the summer of 2021, and we wanted to update […]
Hard
Our kids went back to school this week for the first time since last March. It’s only two days a week, but it has been a gift. There are a million protocols in place, even filling out Google Forms to go to the bathroom. It looks drastically different, but it is two full days of […]
Deerhorn February Update
Well, we made it to 2021! Even though some days it feels like we are still living in 2020, we know that the year ahead holds great promise, and light at the end of what has been a very long tunnel! While camp lies quiet and peaceful beneath a blanket of snow, behind the scenes […]

Who They Are
This is Katniss. We adopted Katniss in the spring of 2015. She came to us from a rescue, as had Rooster several years before. But while Rooster was gregarious and social from the very beginning, Katniss was a different kind of dog. She was incredibly fearful, and spent the first month at our house hiding […]
The 2021 Deerhorn Leaders
We all know that 2020 has been one for the history books…not exactly in the best of ways. But in keeping with that theme, the Deerhorn summer will look a little different, in the best of way. For the first time in Deerhorn history, we will have 8 Deerhorn Leaders. Four of them were chosen […]
The Summer of 2021
What a strange summer it has been. We have been thinking about all of you constantly all summer, hoping your boys were able to find joy in the midst of so much disappointment. To have Deerhorn sit quiet and empty all summer is something none of us wanted. We have heard from some of you […]
No Good Choice
Is anyone else having decision fatigue? Anyone else’s anxiety increasing as the school year looms ever closer, and we wait for decisions to be made? Anyone totally unsure about what the right choice is for school, if we are given the choice? Anyone change their mind on a daily basis? Anyone else feeling like this?: […]
This is Where We Are
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost July. Our first two Father son sessions and A session should already be in the books. We should be well into B session already. But instead, the docks still rest on the beach and camp is quiet and still. Life is not as it should be. But this […]

We have been overwhelmed by the love and support of the Deerhorn families over these past few months, and especially since we announced we had to […]
