It was a warm, muggy day at Deerhorn today, making water activities very popular! We are ready for this humidity to pass and for slightly cooler weather! For breakfast, you might have thought we were having corn dogs, but they were pancake wrapped sausages on a stick…much more popular with kids than with the grown-ups! […]

Today was a little different at Deerhorn. Because of where our changeover days fell, we weren’t able to have typical Sundays with big afternoon team events. So this afternoon we pretended like it was Sunday… The day started out as usual, with muffins for breakfast, and three regular activity periods before having pizza bagels for […]

It’s always an exciting day at camp when the teams are announced, and the line out the store today to buy team colors said it all!  The leaders drafted last night in secret and the teams were announced today just before lunch.       Breakfast this morning was scrambled eggs and toast, and then […]

First morning of D session…and there were lots of kids up at 5:45am, playing basketball, tetherball, cleaning their koogees, ready to start the day! These kids are excited and there is no time to waste!   We had french toast for breakfast, kids returned to their koogees to clean up, then they returned to the […]

Hold on tight! It’s going to be a wild ride…D session has begun, and we have no doubt that it will fly by in a flash of craziness, enthusiasm, questions, and excitement! We are back to capacity for D session, which means we have 142 boys, and more than a third of them are joining us for […]

It’s hard to believe the last day of C session has arrived. We enjoyed bagels for breakfast, chili for lunch, and chicken tenders for dinner (with dirt cups for dessert!!). We woke to sunshine, but by mid-morning the skies had darkened and it started pouring just before lunch.  Luckily, we were still able to have […]

First, I have to share a photo of the AC hot dog vendors from last night’s softball game…1.Because they made the game awesome, kids loved having them walk around the game yelling “Hot dogs, get your hot dogs here!” and 2. Because staff don’t get much love on the blog, since I tend to focus more […]

Sunshine…blue skies…breeze off the lake…I am beginning to sound redundant.  But seriously, we have been so lucky this summer with our weather! Kids are continuing to work on stars in activities, and of course, most importantly, having fun!   Tournaments continue, including the pickle ball tournament, chess, ping pong, and tennis.  It’s great to see […]
