We welcomed a day of sunshine after the rains of yesterday. Breakfast was scrambled eggs and toast, lunch was sloppy joes, and dinner was fish and tater tots. Lots of kids ventured into the lake for sailing, skiing, swimming, and kayaking, and there was still a line for the Rave at General Swim. Sports and […]

Our weather wasn’t the greatest today, though we managed to get through the morning activities before the rain started. And although rain changes things a little around camp, the show must go on! For a couple of activity periods, the rain kept most of us inside. Arts and crafts and riflery continued uninterrupted, but other […]

Kids always get super excited to find out what teams they are on, and with a 10 day session, that has to happen quickly. So the leaders woke up at 6am before breakfast to draft their teams and we announced them just before lunch. We passed out their team shirts, and we even managed to wrangle […]

There were lots of kids up early this morning, long before the bell, ready to get going! (We’re talking before 6am, and breakfast is at 8!) The excitement during A session is contagious. Anytime the bell rings, or the announcement is made for kids to report to the lodge, they run…everywhere….like there is no time to […]

You know it’s going to be a good session at camp when we page that the buses have arrived and all the kids who are already here go sprinting to wait at the bus door for their friends to get off. It’s so awesome to watch and it embodies the Deerhorn Spirit. Not only are these […]

Our second Father Son session ended this morning, and although it was raining most of the morning, we were grateful that it held off until this morning! We couldn’t have asked for better weather the past three days. We had a few activities this morning, like riflery and crafts, but most of our staff worked […]

David Allen was a Deerhorn camper in the 1950s. He taught sailing later as a counselor. And now he gets to bring his grandsons back and teach them how to sail at Deerhorn. How cool is that? This Father Son session is full of stories like that… Will Jones, whose son, Liam, is a third […]

Other than a brief shower this afternoon, we enjoyed another day of incredible weather at Deerhorn! More sun, more breeze, and slightly cooler temperatures made for perfect Deerhorn weather. Breakfast was pancakes, which is always a favorite, and lunch was chicken patties, also a crowd pleaser. As always, riflery and archery were packed most of […]

Our first Father Son camp ended yesterday and it was amazing. I realized there was no blog yesterday because we were so busy preparing for our next Father Son session! One of the greatest gifts of our job is getting to meet so many incredible people…people we count ourselves lucky to call friends. Hugging old […]
