A Boy’s Life
I sit down at the end of the day to write the blog and I’m often struck by how my words just can’t fully tell the story. I can tell you that it was doughnuts and pastries for breakfast, cheesesteak sandwiches and steak fries for lunch, and chicken alfredo for dinner, with brownies for dessert. […]
2024 Deerhorn Conquest
We have a regular schedule of activities that runs 6 days a week. But once per session we have a Special Day, and we all love Special Days at Deerhorn. For one thing, it means we get to sleep in an extra hour and have breakfast at 9:00! (bacon and cheese muffins and potatoes) After […]
E Session Brothers
It was another hot one today at Deerhorn, with the heat and humidity driving some activities down to the waterfront this afternoon. Sports and Games started out playing football this morning but after lunch moved down to the beach for some Cross Net H2O, a volleyball like game played in the water. Kids loved it! […]
Being Boys
Breakfast this morning was cinnamon rolls and bacon, lunch was hot dogs and baked beans, and dinner was a nacho bar. Sports and Games played a new game introduced to camp by Dick Kinney called Go For It. You’ll have to ask your camper when he gets home how to play all these awesome Deerhorn […]
E Session Koogee Fun
Breakfast this morning was french toast, lunch was grilled cheese and tomato soup (you know that was a crowd favorite!), and dinner was pork roast and roasted potatoes. Sports and Games played Gasebolf this afternoon, which is just one of the many crazy Deerhorn games. Is it baseball? Is it golf? No, it’s Gasebolf! It […]
Easy Breezy
It was another warm one today at camp, but there was a big breeze off the lake all day that helped keep things cool. Breakfast this morning was potatoes and bacon, lunch was meatball subs, and dinner was chicken tetrazzini and rolls, with banana pudding for dessert. Kids had their first six activity periods today, […]
E is Finally Here!
These kids have been waiting all summer, but the day has finally arrived! We only had 30 kids stay over with us from D session, so that means 108 kids showed up at camp today, so excited that it was finally THEIR turn! We had doughnuts, pastries, and sausage for breakfast, and then kids were […]
The Hardest Goodbye
Our D session ended this morning. We capped the session with our awards breakfast, as always, and there were lots of amazing awards passed out. We recognized first time skiers and wakeboarders, and gave rifle awards for high scores to Pierce Nomellini for juniors, Harvey Plandowski for intermediates, and Michael Quattrocki for seniors. Tennis champions […]
Boys Just Wanna Have Fun
It’s the last full day of D session! That’s crazy! It was a whirlwind day here at Deerhorn. Breakfast was sausage biscuits, lunch was chicken tenders and mac & cheese, and dinner was beef & broccoli and rice. It was another gorgeous day at camp, chilly this morning but warming to Northwoods perfection this afternoon. […]
The Last Couple of Days
It was another gorgeous day at Deerhorn! Today was the last full day of activities, as tomorrow afternoon’s schedule is different. It’s also the last day of this set of six activity periods for D session. For our Voyagers and Pioneers, it’s their last full day of activities as campers, which is so bittersweet. Four […]
