The Big Day!
It’s always a much anticipated event when kids find out what teams they are on. The leaders drafted their teams last night and we made the announcement just before lunch today. For those of you who are new to Deerhorn, we have four camp teams, the Apache, Iroquois, Chippewa, and Navajo, led by four AMAZING […]
Be a Regular Fellow
One of the lines of the Deerhorn Creed says “To be a regular fellow, a pal to other campers, a friend in manner and deed…” It was so great walking around camp today and seeing so many kids being “regular fellows.” Almost half the kids who are here right now are at Deerhorn for the […]
A Look Back at Leaders-McKinley Shea
We have four amazing leaders this summer, leading our four camp teams, and we have been doing a blog series on looking back at their first year at camp. In case you missed the first three, Patrick Drake is leading the Chippewa, and you can find his first year memories HERE. Griff Parry is leading […]
Let the Good Times Roll!
What a beautiful sunny day to start A session! We had 36 kids stay over from our third Father Son camp to A session, many of them for the first time by themselves. They all went to the Waters of Minocqua yesterday afternoon, a small, indoor waterpark close by. They had a BLAST and most […]
Happy Father’s Day!
We would like to say thank you to all the moms out there for sharing your husbands with us on Father’s Day. We know how important family is, and that it’s hard to share the ones you love. That being said, I have to say we had a pretty awesome Father’s Day around here. The […]
What Rain?
So today’s weather wasn’t perfect. We woke up to cloudy skies and the threat of rain. Finally around 10am it did start to rain, but that didn’t stop the sprout ball game from continuing. I think about half the dads and sons were out on the sprout ball field, having a blast playing sprout ball […]
Coming Home
Many Deerhorn campers will tell you that coming back to Deerhorn is like coming home. And this third Father Son session is the perfect example of just that. Out of 43 families, only 5 have never been to Deerhorn before, and they slide right into the action with ease. Most of the dads in this […]
The End of the Day
It was a great second Father Son session, everybody had a blast last night in the final game of Scalp, and we all enjoyed our incredible entertainers at the campfire. If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then this picture tells you how full life at Deerhorn is! Rex was not the only guy asleep […]
Marshmallows and Muskies
Today’s weather was one of those perfect Wisconsin summer days…sunshine and nothing but blue skies. We definitely all soaked in the sunshine today. Today was guided fishing day, and most of our dads took advantage of our great fishing guides, heading out on a quest to catch that giant musky. Scott and Jack Claire caught […]
You’re Never Too Old
It was another great day up at the Horn! We had a few rain showers come through late morning, but activities were in full swing before and after. We had french toast for breakfast, pizza bagels! for lunch, and roast beef for dinner. There were lots of great bike rides, and trips down the slide. […]
