Brothers and Buddies
I think brother pictures are my very favorites we take at camp. We announce at a meal that we’re doing brother pictures afterward, and it’s always fun to see who shows up. All of our brother pictures can be found on our SmugMug site. Mostly, it’s actual brothers (and there are a LOT of brothers […]
Back in the Sunshine
After yesterday’s rain, we were glad to wake up to beautiful sunny skies and 67 degrees that warmed to a perfect mid-80’s. It was a gorgeous, blue sky day at camp. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, bacon, and french toast sticks. Lunch was burgers, and dinner was delicious pot roast, mashed potatoes, and ice cream sandwiches […]
2026 C Session Teams
What a weird and wild weather day at Deerhorn! When we woke up this morning, it was pouring rain, so the first two activity periods pivoted to rainy day plans. By third period, it had stopped so we were able to announce teams and pass out team shirts. That’s always an exciting day at Deerhorn! […]
C is Here!
We had 43 kids stay over from B session and today one HUNDRED kids arrived for C session! Camp is full and the energy is palpable. We ran activities all day in temporary activity groups based on age, like tennis, archery, and volleyball. As kids arrived by car, they settled into their koogees and then […]
Goodbye to B
And here we are, another session in the books for 2026. We ended our B session this morning with our awards breakfast, with lots of great awards and speeches. Rifle awards went to Harrison Kessler for juniors, with a score of 28, Tucker Baumgartner & Logan Bollhoefer tied for the intermediates with a score of […]
Packing & Voyaging
And just like that, it’s the last full day of B session! We aren’t sure where the time went. Our second group of Voyagers left bright and early this morning at 7am. They are headed to Voyageurs National Park for 8 days of sea kayaking. They occasionally check in throughout the week, but mostly we […]
The Best 4th Ever
Deerhorn has always been a super fun place to celebrate the 4th of July. However, this year we definitely upped our game. (Check out our Instagram stories!) We had regular activities this morning, but then after rest hour, it was time for the 4th of July carnival! From 2-5 this afternoon, kids ran all over […]
Too Much Fun
Cam has taken so many great pics over the last 24 hours, it was hard to decide on just a few for the blog! He stayed at the campfire last night to get great s’mores and post-campfire pics. He took awesome brother pictures today and fun activity pics this morning. They are such a perfect […]
Pugawaggan 2026
Deeley Day #2 is in the books and what a day it was! Day 7 of each session is our Deeley Day, where we break from the regular schedule for even more fun. We sleep in an extra hour and have breakfast at 9am. (apple french toast casserole, bacon, and scrambled eggs). The morning is […]
A Thousand Words
I could tell you that it was breakfast sandwiches for breakfast and Italian subs for lunch. I could tell you that it’s another warm and muggy day at Deerhorn. I could tell you how much fun kids are having in activities, or that Sports and Games played Star Wars this morning on DK Field. (Another […]
