A Grateful Parent
I wanted to pass on this wonderful, powerful little story before I forget and get too busy. Having him gone for 5 weeks was pretty hard for our family because he seems to be a staple who keeps us all entertained whenever he’s around. He was adamant about going for the full 5 weeks when […]
Losing Well
Last week, I shared an article that really spoke to me as a parent. You can read the whole article HERE. She told the story of her 12 year-old son, after a devastating loss to a much better team. “After 42 “Nothing-I’m-fine’s” he began to vomit out the most impressive slew of self-pity statements. He […]
The Hardest Choice
Well, friends, the big day has arrived. This is the day we both look forward to and also dread. We hand out exciting new to four lucky Deerhorn campers, and we have to gently break the news to 30+ others. Every year, we count ourselves extraordinarily lucky to be able to work with some of […]
Here’s to 90 More
Our 90th summer was an incredible one. Our staff was incredible, the four Leaders did an amazing job, and we were surrounded all summer with the best kids you could ever hope to meet. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to be a part of the lives of so many wonderful families. Whether you worked at […]
A Great Day of Fishing
We are SO grateful that the weather today is a 180 degree difference from yesterday! While it dawned cool and foggy, the fog quickly burned off and gave way to beautiful sunshine and 80 degrees the entire day! It was the perfect day to spend on the waterfront, although other activities were busy as well. […]
Rain Can’t Stop Us
So today’s weather wasn’t as good as yesterday’s. We awoke this morning to cooler temperatures and rain, and it has been raining off and on all day. Luckily the rain quit after breakfast, and we had a full morning of activities without rain. This afternoon has not been quite so lucky. We’ve definitely had some […]
The Best for Last
Although the day started cloudy and drizzly, the sun eventually emerged and it turned into a beautiful day. We are so grateful for good weather to start our last Father Son session, ending out the summer of 2019. This session has a lot more little guys, many of whom have never been to Deerhorn, and […]
Father Son 3
Last night’s Scalp game and campfire complete with s’mores were great ways to end this amazing Father Son session. For dads who wanted some more action today, we had activities running until 11am. Now it’s time to get everything ready for our final Father Son session, which starts tomorrow. Many thanks to all the dads […]
Fishing and More Fun
It rained all night, and when we woke this morning, it was grey and drizzling, but by breakfast the rain had stopped and it was done for the day! We were very grateful, especially since today was our guided fishing day. It was definitely on the cooler side all day, but that didn’t stop the […]
Another Day of Fun
While there was some cloud cover throughout the day, it warmed up nicely and made for a great day down on the waterfront. Activities ran all day and dads and sons enjoyed the craft shop, horseback rides, and mountain biking through the woods. Breakfast this morning was blueberry pancakes and sausage, and lunch was chicken […]
