We Are Deerhorn
Several years ago, we welcomed Grant Denapoli back to Deerhorn. He had not been back since he was a camper, and he was more excited than anyone to be back at camp, and be able to share it with his son, James. Since then, he has returned every summer to not only attend Father Son […]
Building for the Future
Two years ago, we started a Capital Improvement Fund for Camp Deerhorn. Due to generous donations, we are currently expanding showers and updating plumbing in the Upper Bathhouse. We installed 3 new tennis courts in 2016. We have started saving for a storm shelter, roof for rainy days, Skeeter resurfacing, new slide, and an expanded […]

Today’s guest blogger is Max Tunnicliffe, leader of the 2016 Navajo. Max wrote an incredible essay for school about Deerhorn, and we asked if we could share it on our blog. Thanks, Max! It’s beautiful! The old saying goes, “Home is where the heart is.” In my case, it reads, […]

Choosing Kindness
It has been a long road to get to November 8th, 2016. To say that it has been an emotional roller coaster would be a dramatic understatement. Most of us are just glad that it is over. But now that it IS over, and the votes are in, what now? As much as I would […]

Leaders Four
I have to admit I feel a little guilty for not having written a blog in awhile. Usually I write one reflecting on the end of the summer, but between packing up camp at the end of the summer, and in a matter of weeks gearing up for 2017, life seems to get crazier with […]
The Last Ride…
…the last Rave launch…the last dinner in the dining hall…the last trip down the waterslide. The summer of 2016 is almost over and we finished it off in style. Today was our guided fishing day, so after omelets for breakfast, dads and sons were excited to go catch the big musky! There were a […]
