This is the fourth in a series of blog posts geared toward 1st year campers. Check out the other three if you missed them. The first one shares some great tips for first-time parents.  The second covers opening day, and the third talks about what to expect the first few days at Deerhorn.   We hope […]

As the summer is drawing ever closer, we hope you are getting excited to spend a few weeks with us this summer. This blog is a continuation in our series geared toward our first-year campers. It may seem a little overwhelming at first, but you will be amazed at how quickly you feel at home […]

This coming summer, we have more than 140 kids who will be coming to Camp Deerhorn for the first time. Even those who have attended Father Son camp with their dads will find that the schedule for regular sessions is quite different. We are super excited to welcome these new campers into the Deerhorn Family. […]

The weather didn’t exactly cooperate for our final full day of the summer of 2022. It dawned grey and cloudy and raining. Luckily most of the rain stopped by breakfast, though it did continue to just kind of spit off and on for the rest of the day. But dads and sons didn’t let a […]

One of the things that I often hear at Father Son camp is how astonished dads are at how much you can pack into a day at Deerhorn. Today dawned cool and windy, and it remained so most of the day, but the rain held off. But the cool weather didn’t stop the fun, even […]

Dads at Father Son 4 like to say we save the best for last. We can’t officially say that, but one thing we do love about Father Son 4 is that we are able to be even more fully present than other sessions. There is nothing left to get ready for or prep. The last […]

We woke to a cool morning with blue skies and sunshine, and it quickly warmed to an amazingly gorgeous day. Today was our guided fishing day, so dads and sons had a great time fishing with our professional guides, hunting for that elusive musky, the fish of 10,o00 casts. There weren’t any muskies landed today, […]

This morning dawned cool and overcast. We didn’t have any rain, so activities went on uninterrupted…but it was definitely a cool, cloudy morning. Once lunchtime arrived, however, the sun came out, the skies cleared, and it was a gorgeous, warm, blue sky afternoon. Dads and sons enjoyed a full day of activities, everything from sailing […]

We really love these last two Father Son camps. Our summer is mostly over and we can truly enjoy four days spent with dads and sons, rather than ramping up for a full summer as we do in June. As per usual, it’s a great mix of new families and returning ones. Some have kids […]

Apologies for no blog yesterday. The last full day of this session was crazy busy, wrapping up the session and preparing for the Water Campfire last night. Yesterday was a great final full day of D session. Kids had regular activities in the morning, then spent rest hour packing up. The afternoon entailed three afternoons […]
