C Session Draft
The leaders of the four camp teams drafted their teams late last night, so this morning, kids who just arrived got to find out what teams they were on. For more about our team competition during the summer, click HERE. Team photos are posted on our Shutterfly site. This is the Iroquois, the team who […]
Boys Just Wanna Have Fun!
This is what fun looks like: At Camp Deerhorn, we call that a Machine Gun Run, and these kids in group 9 decided to do Machine Gun Runs this afternoon in swimming class, over and over again. Just because it was fun. They were excited to be at camp, excited for our warm summer day, […]
C Session!
We are off and running again with a great new group of kids! Many of them are returning campers, so it’s fun to greet old faces and to meet new friends! The kids who stayed over from B session had an awesome time on the pirate ship, and were ready this afternoon when the buses […]
ARRR!! B Session is over!
We have 44 kids who are staying for C session, and they sailed off on an adventure this afternoon. They sailed with the Eagle River Pirates on a real pirate ship this afternoon. Kids were outfitted with pirate bandanas, eyepatches, and mustaches, to make the experience as real as possible. 🙂 After the pirate ship, the […]
Moments
Life as a camp director is always hectic. Days are crazy and long and it’s easy to get bogged down in the logistics and lose the big picture. And then there are moments. Moments that remind us of why we do what we do. Moments that show us that we are not just giving these […]
Time Flies
Here it is, the last full day of activities for B session. It’s so hard to believe that this session is almost over! The weather has not been super cooperative today, as we had a few rain showers come through and the high didn’t pass 57 degrees. But the sun peeked through several times and […]
Chariots of Fire
Today was one of the biggest Sunday events of the summer, The Chariots of Fire, second only to the Monkey Relays that will be coming up in a couple of weeks. It’s such a fun afternoon, watching all the teams work together. Each team is divided into smaller groups, and they have to go complete […]
The Best of Deerhorn
This. This is the best of Deerhorn. Blake is 9 and Mike is 15. At home, they would unlikely be friends. They wouldn’t even go to the same school. Where in life would you ever see a 3rd grader friends with a sophomore in high school? At Deerhorn. Friendships like this are […]
Last Day of Hockey
We woke up to coffee cake for breakfast, and there were many trips to the window for seconds (and third, and fourths!) It was definitely a popular breakfast. Many kids liked the fish sandwiches for lunch too. Sports and Games is playing handball on the soccer field today. Today was also the last day of […]
We Love Hockey!
Kids have been having a blast this week playing Deerhorn hockey. But the highlight of the week for most kids is the staff hockey game tonight. Sure, it’s a fast paced, awesome, fun game of hockey to watch. But let’s get real…these kids are in it for the concession stand. Each camper got $3 out […]
