Our Voyagers left this morning bright and early at 7am. After weeks of preparation, they were excited to finally be hitting the road. It was a six hour drive to Voyageurs National Park, and I have no doubt there was lots of sleeping happening on the bus. It’s a brand new destination for the Voyager […]

We woke to fog so thick we could barely see past the A-Dock, but by lunch the fog had cleared and the sun peeked through occasionally all afternoon. It warmed up to 80 degrees and kids had a great time jumping on the Rave, skiing, and playing with the paddle boards. Breakfast this morning was […]

Today was food packing day for our Voyagers. It’s their favorite part of pre-trip planning, as they get to see all of the food they are going to eat for the eight days of their kayaking trip. They leave Sunday, and they are so excited to go!     We had some rain this morning […]

The sun is shining once again. The Voyagers spent the afternoon on the lake doing kayak basic safety in preparation for leaving for their 8 day trip on Sunday. Sports and Games played Klepton on the soccer field, which is a big camper favorite. The view from camp is full of action, smiles, and fun! […]

I started doing brother pictures awhile back, just to make sure I got a pic of brothers who were sharing the Deerhorn experience together. But these days, every time I make the announcement, it’s not just brothers who show up. It’s cousins, and friends, boys who just want their photo taken together…boys who consider themselves […]

The Lake Superior Trip returned home this afternoon around 4:30 and camp is full once again. They had a great trip, with good weather and tons of fun. This morning they picked 85 pounds of cherries before heading to breakfast. On the way home, they went hiking at Copper Falls State Park. Here it’s been […]

It feels like the session just started, but it has been a whirlwind of a few days. Yesterday afternoon was busy with the big Sunday event, and then we had to get a group of kids ready for the Lake Superior Trip, which left today. There are 23 kids on that trip, and it left […]

We love Sundays at Camp Deerhorn! There’s always a huge cheer Saturday night at dinner when we announce that we’re sleeping in Sunday morning. Sundays are also a break in the routine, where we get to do something a little different. We had scrambled eggs, sausage, and hash browns for breakfast at 9am instead of […]

The sun shines, the breeze blows off the lake, the skies are blue, and the fun is endless around here! Kids found out this morning what team they were on, and that’s always super exciting. Breakfast was delicious homemade pancakes, lunch was  chicken tenders and curly fries, and dinner was spaghetti and meatballs. Now that […]

C session started yesterday, which means there are 70 kids who just arrived at camp and are so excited to be here. That means that there were a lot of early risers this morning, ready to get the action started long before the bell rang at 7:15am. Kids were on the tennis courts as early […]
