A Glorious Beginning

Today was one of those days at camp when you look out at the sparkling lake, the sun shining in the blue sky, and the breeze blowing and you think, “I am so lucky to be here.” We couldn’t have asked for better weather to start C session. When we woke up this morning, it […]


Awesomeness

B Session…filled with so much awesomeness you can hardly stand it. What a great group of kids we were privileged to spend two weeks with. We hope you had as much fun as we did! Many awards were passed out this morning at our awards breakfast. Alex Polovin won the junior tennis tournament and Ben […]


Family

 The last day of B session is here. It’s been a busy one, as last days always are. This morning was the last three periods of regular activities, so kids worked hard to get those last stars.  Sports & Games had a “grab bag” of activities, where kids could choose what activity they wanted each […]


All Good!

Lots of smiling faces around camp last night as campers got to play their favorite game, Scalp! Four teams, two flags each person, one flag gets pulled and you’re out! It’s a simple game, but it’s full of strategy, teamwork, and fierce team pride.  Kids LOVE it!       Today was a beautiful sunny, […]


These Boys

Sometimes, when I sit down to blog at the end of a long day, I think, “What can I say?  How do I put into words the amazing things that happen around this place?”  I could tell you that we had blueberry scones for breakfast, ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch, and meatloaf for dinner. […]


Boys Just Wanna Have Fun

The weather forecast called for storms across the midwest today, but somehow we got lucky and skirted them all day. The sun shone and all activities happened on schedule. Around 5, the rain cut loose and soaked camp, but we’re hoping it will blow over soon. In the meantime, campers had a great day in […]


Pugawagan

“Many moons ago, the mighty Sioux settled a beautiful, magical land full of plentiful resources and a great view of the three stars: red, blue, and gold.  This land was called Conestoga.  On it, the Sioux thrived and grew strong and wise for many generations.  Then, all of a sudden, they mysteriously and silently vanished.

Enjoy another great issue of the Deerhorn Sun! Congrats to all of our writers and editors for another job well done!   Deerhorn Sun 3


Koogee Life

Kids love living in a koogee.  For many campers, it’s their favorite part of camp. That top bunk is a much-coveted position for a lot of younger kids, and for many campers their best part of the day is simply hanging out in their koogee.  It’s where many memories are made and friendships formed.   […]


Determination

Deerhorn definitely has a focus on fun, and as a photographer, I love capturing those fun moments, those huge smiles, those looks of sheer delight.  But there is also a lot of hard work that happens at Deerhorn, and I love capturing those moments too. A couple of days ago, on the blog, I talked […]
