It was another beautiful day at Camp Deerhorn! We had scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast, chili for lunch, and tortellini for dinner. Sports and Games played Balcoball on the baseball field, which is basically a whiffle ball baseball game in the outfield. Tonight was big excitement in the dining room because after dinner it […]

I feel like with the above photo as the intro to this blog, there’s not much else I need to say. I love taking pictures of the Sunday event, Chariots of Fire, because the looks of pure joy as they pull their leaders across the soccer field are priceless! That photo pretty well sums up […]

We enjoyed  another day of sunshine for our second day of activities! Kids went through their second set of activity orientations today. Breakfast was cinnamon toast, a Saturday morning staple. Lunch was chicken patties and dinner was chicken cordon bleu. The line for the Rave at G-swim was not as long as the one for […]

Today was the sunshine we have been awaiting for days! Blue skies, and a breeze off the lake, and activities are off to a great start. Breakfast this morning was pancakes. Kids headed back to their koogees after breakfast to get them cleaned up. When the bell rang, campers headed to the lodge to find […]

We passed out lots of patches for stars earned in activities, as well as Most Improved patches in each activity. We like to focus on improvement in our activities, rather than on who is the best.  The […]

Breakfast this morning was omelets and toast, lunch was grilled cheese and tomato soup, and dinner was ravioli. We spent a lot of […]

It speaks volumes about a summer at Deerhorn when I try to take photos of brothers who are at camp together. I make the announcement at lunch, asking all brothers or cousins to meet me outside the lodge after lunch. And inevitably there are others who come who simply want their picture together. They say “I […]

We might not have had the best weather for our first Sunday at Deerhorn, but we definitely had the best fun! We slept in an hour and had breakfast sandwiches at 9. Kids got to have some rare free time this morning where they hung out with their koogee mates, played ping pong, ultimate frisbee, […]
