Ready For Fun!
Our second Father Son session ended this morning and it was a great one! We had breakfast at 8 of bacon, scrambled eggs, and potatoes, and then some dads stuck around for activities, which we had running until 11am. The morning of this changeover can be a little chaotic, trying to get koogees cleaned and […]
Glorious
After yesterday’s weather, we were all thrilled to wake up this morning to sunshine and blue skies. It was a cool start to the day, but it quickly warmed up this afternoon and the waterfront was once again hopping. Sailing, skiing, Rave, waterslide, kayaks…all were busy all afternoon. Today was also our guided fishing day […]
A Little Bit of Rain
We like to say it doesn’t rain at Camp Deerhorn, but we also want to live the Creed and Speak the Truth. 😉 The day dawned cool and cloudy, and it rained all morning at camp. By early afternoon, however, the rain had stopped and it warmed up just a little. During these rainy days, […]
Round Two
We were greeted by a day of beautiful sunshine to welcome our second round of Father Son campers today. This session has a lot of Deerhorn alumni and dads who have been with us at Father Son camp for almost a decade. We love greeting old friends, but we are also glad to welcome new […]
Lucky
We have really lucked out with the weather around here. It rained during dinner last night, but quit right after dinner so that we could play Capture the Flag and have the campfire outside. It turned out to be a beautiful evening, and we once again were lucky to be surrounded by great entertainment by […]
More Sunshine and Smiles
Today dawned cooler than yesterday but the sun shone all day. The beach wasn’t quite as popular today with the cooler temperatures, but all of our other activities were hopping. The craft shop stayed busy with dads and sons making some creative projects together. Riflery and archery were busy, as always! Sports and Games played […]
Our 90th Year
Welcome to the summer of 2019! It’s finally here and we are off and running. We couldn’t have asked for a better day to kick off our 90th season. It was cloudy this morning, but by this afternoon the skies were blue and the sun shone and smiles were seen all around camp. Today started […]
Be a Great Teammate
Recently, I shared a letter written by Brad Stevens, head coach of the Boston Celtics, to his 9 year-old daughter. You can find the original letter HERE but I also wanted to share the full letter here on the blog. As our kids have gotten older, we’ve talked about this with them a lot, what […]
Parent Support
Over the past year, we’ve shared several blogs that help explain our no electronics policy at camp. You can find some those blogs here and here. Our policy is that all cell phones and electronics should be left at home, and cell phones will no longer be allowed on the bus ride up. Any phones […]
The Gift is Camp
Summer is fast approaching, and camp will be here before we know it. For some, the summer of 2019 will be their first at camp, maybe even their first time away from home by themselves. We understand that it’s hard for parents to be away from their son for a week, or two, or even […]
