Today ended our A session, our first camper session of the summer. We’re not quite sure where the time went. We finished up the session with our awards breakfast and had lots of awards to pass out. We passed out patches for stars earned in activities, and Most Improved patches in each activity. The tennis […]

Wow! The A session is almost done! We had breakfast burritos for breakfast, french bread pizza and caesar salad for lunch, and enchilada casserole for dinner. And guess what? It DIDN’T rain today! 🙂 The morning was full of regular activities as kids worked toward those last few stars. After lunch, kids headed back to […]

Today was another day of rain at Deerhorn. It poured all morning, though by afternoon the rain was gone and the forecast for the next few days looks way better! And if it’s going to rain at camp, there’s nothing better than some mud wrestling. Horseback riding couldn’t go on rides this morning, so instead, […]

We love taking Deerhorn brother pictures! We make the announcement at a meal for anyone who has a brother to meet outside the lodge after the meal. What’s even more fun is the kids who show up who aren’t brothers, but just want their pictures taken together. They say, “We’re Deerhorn brothers!” Speaking from experience, […]

The schedule at camp used to be we had regular activities Monday-Saturday and Sundays were a different schedule. We changed our sessions this summer to all be 11 days long, and decided that we didn’t want to have a Sunday schedule on day 2 or 3 of a new session, when kids had just gotten […]

With good weather again today, we got koogee pictures today at rest hour. It’s always fun to see personalities come out in koogee pictures. Kids love hanging out with their friends in their koogee! It was cloudy most of the day, not as hot as yesterday, and the sun even came out mid-afternoon. There was […]

We were so grateful for no rain today! It was warm and muggy all day, with the temps climbing into the high 80s and winds gusting off the lake all day.  It was so warm that horseback riding and basketball headed down to the beach for the afternoon for some water basketball.  The waterfront was […]

It was really warm and muggy when we woke up this morning, and we made it through one period of activities before the skies got dark and the storms rolled through. Luckily the storms weren’t severe and they were done in a couple of hours. Kids played games in the lodge and Deerhorn Hall while […]

We woke up this morning to rain and clouds. And though it rained most of the morning, by 11am the rain had passed and the sun even made a few appearances this afternoon! Morning activities were mostly inside today, as kids played board games, rafter ball, and games in Deerhorn Hall. Some activities continued as […]

There were lots of kids up early this morning, excited to get the fun started! We had french toast for breakfast, then we had a short meeting after breakfast to find out what activity group they were in, and then it was off and running! Activities the first two days have to include safety and […]
