The Fun Doesn’t Stop

Today looked to be better weather than yesterday. And while we did have less rain than we did yesterday, the forecast was definitely not accurate. Today was our guided fishing day, and while some families got to go out to fish, quite a few others got shut out because of rain or thunder. Regardless, we […]


What Rain?

So we might have gotten a little rain at Deerhorn today. 🙂 We are located on a chain of lakes, called the Moen Lake Chain, and we are Fourth Lake out of five. There was so much rain today that we joked that Sixth Lake had formed down by the beach, and our waterfront staff […]


The Perfect Start

What a day! This kind of weather makes good photos easy! Smiles, sunshine, blue skies…it doesn’t get any better! We had a line of cars down Deerhorn Road this morning at 9am, just bursting with kids ready to get this party started! We love reuniting with so many great friends, but also welcoming new families […]


Campfires and Conclusions

Our first Father Son camp was a wonderful way to kick off the summer of 2018. We are grateful for all of the fantastic families who made Father Son 1 so special. On a personal note, it was pretty great to hang out with some guys who I was on staff with 20 years ago. […]


The Sun Will Come Out

This morning dawned cloudy and cool, with rain as a definite possibility. And while it did rain briefly this morning, by afternoon the sun had come out and the day warmed to perfection. Fathers and sons stayed busy today, trying to make the most of their last full day at Deerhorn. Breakfast was delicious sausage, […]


A Great Day to be at Deerhorn

We had a fantastic day at camp again today. The weather couldn’t have been nicer, with cool weather for sleeping, warming to sunshine and 70s in the afternoon. The beach was again the happening place, with trips down the slide and out to the Rave, and lots of sailboats and kayaks out on the lake. […]


A Great Beginning!

We opened our 2018 season today with a great group of dads and sons. Most are returning, but we do have five new families joining us this year. Everyone was excited to see all the new upgrades, and there have already been many games of ping pong played in the new hall and trips down […]


The Best Yet

Friends, we are all crazy excited for the summer of 2018! We’ve had a crew of 7 guys here for a couple of weeks working on big pre-camp projects, and the rest of our staff arrived yesterday. We are painting, landscaping, making trails, interior decorating, and just all around prepping for the best summer Deerhorn […]


A Look Back at Leaders-George

Our final look back at Leaders focuses on George Landsberg, leader of the 2018 Chippewa. Many thanks to his parents for sharing their thoughts on George’s years at Deerhorn! George’s letters home from Camp Deerhorn are infrequent and sparse, to say the least. That’s how we know Camp Deerhorn is having the desired effect. George’s […]


Finding Happiness

There are times in our lives when happiness comes easily…weddings and babies, parties and graduations. We are happy without thinking about it, caught up in the joy and excitement that naturally happens during exciting events. But life is made up of lows too, and everything in between. It’s that “in between” that I have been […]
