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 […]

In Memory of Chetan
It is with great sadness and very heavy hearts that we have to share the news that the Deerhorn Family has lost one of the greats. Chetan Phadnis has been a pillar in the Deerhorn community for over a decade, as he has brought his three sons, Nate, Scott, and Ryan, to Father Son camp […]
Broken
This has been a hard week for all of us in the Deerhorn Family. So many of us held out hope for so long that a summer at Deerhorn would be possible. I’m sure it has been a very emotional week at your house. I know it has been at ours. (Emotional week? Who am […]
The Deerhorn Summer of 2020
To the Deerhorn Family It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to cancel all of the rest of our camper-only sessions this summer, B,C,D,E, and F. We remain hopeful that August Father Son 3 & 4 is a possibility. We […]
