It seems impossible that the summer is almost over. Today was the last full day of activities. Tomorrow will be a morning of activities and an afternoon of team competition. Campers have six activities Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and the other six on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.  So today was the last day for the T,Th, […]

It was another awesome day at Deerhorn! The weather these past two days has been absolutely beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice, but the lake has just been sparkling in the sun…Kids down at the waterfront building sandcastles, going down the slide, sailing Sunfish, paddling canoes, water-skiing, going on the Rave.  Looking out at […]

That picture pretty much sums up D session around here.  Crazy, excited, fired up kids who run to activities and make the most of their 10 days up here. D session is pretty wacky all by itself, but today got even wackier. Today was Wacky Wednesday at camp, except that it was Tuesday…which I suppose […]

The clouds gathered last night and we made it through the morning of activities with no rain…but when lunch time rolled around, the rain started and pretty much lasted the rest of the day. But judging by the smiles on faces and the laughter coming from the swimming beach, the rain did nothing to dampen […]

It’s hard to believe it’s the last Sunday of the summer…last Sunday event, last cookout on the beach.  Time really does fly when you’re having fun, and this session is almost half over!  We all enjoy Sundays at camp because they’re a little different, a little more laid back, and provide a break from the […]

Everything is exciting to these D session boys, and their enthusiasm is contagious. But nothing is as exciting as the draft, where campers get to find out which team they are on for the session. The leaders picked teams last night, so today before lunch the announcement was made of each team’s line up. Kids […]

The heat wave of summer has finally arrived, in perfect time for D session. These boys are LOVING this weather…it’s perfectly cool at night for sleeping, and we wake up to 50 degree mornings…then it warms up to that perfect 85 degree afternoon, with the sun shining and breezes blowing. We welcome the warmth of […]

We LOVE D session! The energy and enthusiasm these boys bring into camp late in the season is a reminder to us all how awesome camp really is. They are SO excited to be here! It’s a significantly younger session, as we went from 70 teenagers last session to 33 this session, and we have […]

We had to say goodbye to a lot of good friends today. There were many tears shed in the parking lot as the bus was loading up. It’s so bittersweet for our 15 year olds, because for many of them it’s their last year as a camper. Next year we will pick four 16 year […]

It is definitely hard to believe that C session is almost behind us. We have many friends going home tomorrow who we will miss around camp, staff & campers alike. Everyone definitely made the most of their last day of activities & team competition. This morning after breakfast of french toast, kids finished up working […]
