A Great First Father Son

Yesterday’s weather was a little wonky, with sunshine mixed in with sporadic rain and even some hail! Regardless of the weather, dads and sons had a great day of fishing with our professional guides. Whether they were hunting the elusive musky, or just fishing for the little ones, kids loved fishing out on the lake! […]


Much Better

Althought it was pretty chilly when we woke up this morning, the sun was shining all day and the temps rose to almost 70. Much better weather than we had yesterday! Dads and sons were ready to greet the day and play tennis, shoot hoops, ride horses, kayak, just to name a few! Breakfast this […]


Welcome to 2024!

It’s finally here! The summer of 2024 kicked off today with the start of our 1st Father Son session. The weather wasn’t anything to brag about, but there was no shortage of fun! The forecast kept saying there was a 20% chance of rain, which should be an 80% chance of NOT rain…and yet somehow […]

A Look Back at Leaders-Desmond Mangat

Every year, we ask the parents of our 4 Deerhorn Leaders to look back at their son’s years at Deerhorn. It’s so fun to hear them reflect on all the years their kids have spent at camp and the growth they’ve seen along the way. We kick off our Look Back series with Desmond Mangat, […]


The 2024 Deerhorn Leaders

This day every year is always both the best and the worst. It’s the easiest and the hardest.  It is the best because we get to introduce you to four incredible kids who will lead our 4 camp teams next summer. It’s the worst because introducing them means also having to send emails to all […]


Expect Greatness

At the end of last summer, we were between sessions and a group of us went out to dinner before the next Father Son session started the following day. While at the restaurant, we noticed a group of two dads and two sons also having dinner. Knowing they were likely heading to Father Son camp […]
