More Fun Ahead!
Our second Father Son session ended this morning, and although it was raining most of the morning, we were grateful that it held off until this morning! We couldn’t have asked for better weather the past three days. We had a few activities this morning, like riflery and crafts, but most of our staff worked […]
The Legacy
David Allen was a Deerhorn camper in the 1950s. He taught sailing later as a counselor. And now he gets to bring his grandsons back and teach them how to sail at Deerhorn. How cool is that? This Father Son session is full of stories like that… Will Jones, whose son, Liam, is a third […]
Tired But Happy
Other than a brief shower this afternoon, we enjoyed another day of incredible weather at Deerhorn! More sun, more breeze, and slightly cooler temperatures made for perfect Deerhorn weather. Breakfast was pancakes, which is always a favorite, and lunch was chicken patties, also a crowd pleaser. As always, riflery and archery were packed most of […]
Let’s Do It Again!
Our first Father Son camp ended yesterday and it was amazing. I realized there was no blog yesterday because we were so busy preparing for our next Father Son session! One of the greatest gifts of our job is getting to meet so many incredible people…people we count ourselves lucky to call friends. Hugging old […]
So Good
It really is, friends…life is so good. The sun was shining, the smiles were wide, and we were surrounded by some of the best people you could ever hope to meet. It was another incredible day at Deerhorn, when even the weather cooperated. Breakfast this morning was scrambled eggs and toast, and then it was […]
Here Comes the Sun!
This picture pretty much sums up how excited we all were for the sun to come out this morning! We were blessed with the most beautiful, warm day, and the waterfront was the happening place, with lines for the Rave most of the day. There was definitely still lots of action at the other activities…riflery […]
Ready…Set…GO!
Welcome to the summer of 2017! Today was the first day of our first Father Son camp. The day dawned bright and beautiful, warm and promising…we wish it would have stayed that way! Dads who arrived this morning were able to get in a morning of activities before thunderstorms came through at lunch. Even in […]
Lessons Learned
We are in high gear preparing for the summer of 2017. But before we begin, it’s fun to look back and hear what campers had to say about the summer of 2016. Here are some of their comments from surveys we passed out last summer at camp, what they had learned and their favorite parts […]
A Look Back-Parker Frautschi
Today’s blog is a look back at the Deerhorn career of Parker Frautschi, leader of the 2017 Navajo. We are grateful to his parents for sharing their memories with us! As family traditions go, Parker’s father and uncles all went to summer camp in Northern Wisconsin. Uncle Grant went to Deerhorn, Uncle Paul, Red Arrow, […]
A Look Back-Walt Szafran
Today’s Look Back is Walt Szafran, leader of the 2017 Apache. Many thanks to his parents for sharing their memories! When it came time to think about a summer camp for our boys, Walt’s dad naturally thought of his own boyhood summer camp in Massachusetts. After some investigating he discovered that his camp had changed […]
