Kids had such a great time last night playing Civil War. Each team has 8 pieces of “treasure” in a quadrant of camp to protect…koogee row, soccer field, baseball field, and beach. The goal is to try to steal the other team’s “treasure” like in Capture the Flag, and the team with the most treasure […]

It was another hot one up at the ‘Horn today! Blue skies and sunshine made for perfect swimming weather once again, and the waterfront was busy as Sports & Games headed to the beach to play water basketball to cool off. Kids took numerous trips down the slide, jumped on the Rave, built sand castles, […]

With our changeover day falling on a Saturday, we weren’t able to have a regular Sunday to start this session. So today we pretended like it was a Sunday, with a few changes. This morning after blueberry scones for breakfast, we had regular activities. But this afternoon, after pizza fries for lunch, instead of regular […]

Camp Deerhorn is a fun place to spend the 4th of July! But there’s so much more going on than just a patriotic celebration!

Breakfast was french toast, and then campers got their koogees cleaned up and then met […]

We had a great awards breakfast this morning (waffles with strawberries and whip cream!) , celebrating patches earned for stars in activities, as well as Most Improved awards in each activity.   We love those awards, because that’s our focus here at camp, improvement every day.   Rifle awards were passed out to kids who […]

This session flew by in a flash. No sooner were we welcoming kids off the bus than we were packing them up to go home. You blink and you might miss it!  A session goes by so fast, but we pack a lot into those 9 days. I’ve heard Deerhorn called “saturated,” and I think […]
