Fishing and Catching

It was definitely a much chillier day today, with some brief rain sprinkles this morning and clouds throughout the day. The sun tried to peek out a few times, but didn’t stay out long. We had sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit sandwiches for breakfast and meatball subs and tater tots for lunch. There were a […]


Turnaround

We woke to grey skies and drizzle that lasted most of the morning. However, after lunch, the sun came out, the breeze blew off the lake, and it turned into a beauty of a day! We had pancakes and sausage for breakfast, chicken cheddar melts for lunch, and beef stroganoff for dinner. The beach was […]


Hooray for FS3!

Our camper sessions may be over, but that doesn’t mean that the fun is! Our third Father Son camp of the summer started this morning at 9am, and there were lots of dads and sons rolling into the parking lot first thing this morning! They wanted to get the party started! While the weather is […]


The End of an Era

Somehow, here we are. All of our camper-only sessions finished today with the end of our E session. We still have two more Father Son camps to finish out our season, but it’s definitely bittersweet to say goodbye to the E session. The Water Campfire last night had to be held in the lodge because […]


Final Day & Water Campfire

That photo above might be one of my favorite ever taken at camp. Our Hobie mast broke two years ago and we are still working on getting it fixed. Sailing this morning decided that it had sat on the beach for long enough…they would “sail it” in a different way. Pure joy on those faces. […]


Friendships and Final Days

Today is the last full day of activities for the summer of 2024. Tomorrow’s afternoon schedule is a little different. Kids are working hard on those final stars and having fun with friends in activities. Breakfast this morning was french toast and lunch was orange chicken and rice. Sports and Games played Klepton today, which […]


A Boy’s Life

I sit down at the end of the day to write the blog and I’m often struck by how my words just can’t fully tell the story. I can tell you that it was doughnuts and pastries for breakfast, cheesesteak sandwiches and steak fries for lunch, and chicken alfredo for dinner, with brownies for dessert. […]


2024 Deerhorn Conquest

We have a regular schedule of activities that runs 6 days a week. But once per session we have a Special Day, and we all love Special Days at Deerhorn. For one thing, it means we get to sleep in an extra hour and have breakfast at 9:00! (bacon and cheese muffins and potatoes) After […]


Indoor Outdoor

It was another hot and muggy one today at Deerhorn with more pop up storms. Sports and Games played Star Wars on the baseball field. Breakfast was pancakes, lunch was turkey and swiss wraps, and dinner was grilled chicken, mashed potatoes, and chocolate cake for dessert. Even with the on again off again rain today, […]


E Session Brothers

It was another hot one today at Deerhorn, with the heat and humidity driving some activities down to the waterfront this afternoon. Sports and Games started out playing football this morning but after lunch moved down to the beach for some Cross Net H2O, a volleyball like game played in the water. Kids loved it! […]
