Choosing Kindness
It has been a long road to get to November 8th, 2016. To say that it has been an emotional roller coaster would be a dramatic understatement. Most of us are just glad that it is over. But now that it IS over, and the votes are in, what now? As much as I would […]
We Heard You!
We want to say a big “Thank You” to everyone who responded to our survey. We were thrilled that almost 97% of the 249 respondents gave us an 8, 9 or 10 on a 1-10 scale. 79% gave us a 10! We are so grateful for your feedback, and ecstatic to hear that you love Deerhorn as […]
The Case for Deerhorn
Many thanks to our guest blogger today, Mark Deacon. We are so grateful that Mark and his family are part of the Deerhorn Family. If you would like to write a guest blog post, please email it to amy@deerhorn.com. My name is Mark Deacon, and I’ve been coming to Deerhorn every summer since 2005. I […]
Leaders Four
I have to admit I feel a little guilty for not having written a blog in awhile. Usually I write one reflecting on the end of the summer, but between packing up camp at the end of the summer, and in a matter of weeks gearing up for 2017, life seems to get crazier with […]
The Last Ride…
…the last Rave launch…the last dinner in the dining hall…the last trip down the waterslide. The summer of 2016 is almost over and we finished it off in style. Today was our guided fishing day, so after omelets for breakfast, dads and sons were excited to go catch the big musky! There were a […]
Glorious
No better way to describe the day at camp than simply glorious. It was a perfect 85 degrees with a breeze off the lake, and the lake water the warmest it’s ever been. After pancakes for breakfast, fathers and sons were off to activities! Riflery and archery are always popular during Father Son camp, […]
Best for Last
We welcomed another group of fathers and sons today for our final session of the summer, Father Son Camp 4. Many of them were here bright and early after breakfast to get as much action in as possible in the first day! After bagels for breakfast, we opened up all the activities starting at 9am, […]
Another Goodbye
…And in a blink, D session is over. We had our awards breakfast this morning, and lots of awards were passed out, including some end of the summer awards. The tennis tournament trophies were given out to Will McHugh for 11 and under and James Theriault for 12 and up (and he’s an 11 year old! […]
The Water Campfire
We woke this morning to blue skies and doughnuts for breakfast…doesn’t get much better than that!…except it does when you’re at Deerhorn! This morning was the last three activity periods of the summer. Campers made the most of their time to work on stars and just plain have fun, like many trips down the waterslide! […]
Family Ties
It’s hard to believe that today was the last full day of activities for the summer of 2016. Tomorrow’s schedule will be a little bit different. Kids had a great time in activities, but also continue to work on star requirements. For those of you who are new to Deerhorn, our focus at camp is […]
