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. […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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! […]

Breakfast this morning was cinnamon rolls and bacon, lunch was hot dogs and baked beans, and dinner was a nacho bar. Sports and Games played a new game introduced to camp by Dick Kinney called Go For It. You’ll have to ask your camper when he gets home how to play all these awesome Deerhorn […]

Breakfast this morning was french toast, lunch was grilled cheese and tomato soup (you know that was a crowd favorite!), and dinner was pork roast and roasted potatoes.  Sports and Games played Gasebolf this afternoon, which is just one of the many crazy Deerhorn games. Is it baseball? Is it golf? No, it’s Gasebolf! It […]

It was another warm one today at camp, but there was a big breeze off the lake all day that helped keep things cool.  Breakfast this morning was potatoes and bacon, lunch was meatball subs, and dinner was chicken tetrazzini and rolls, with banana pudding for dessert. Kids had their first six activity periods today, […]

These kids have been waiting all summer, but the day has finally arrived! We only had 30 kids stay over with us from D session, so that means 108 kids showed up at camp today, so excited that it was finally THEIR turn! We had doughnuts, pastries, and sausage for breakfast, and then kids were […]
