Here we are…the last full day of D session and the second to last day of all of our camper-only sessions for the summer of 2023.  Summers at Deerhorn remind me of those early days of having a baby…the days and nights can be so long, and you’re so tired…but suddenly, you blink, and they’re […]

Whew! It’s a hot one today at Camp Deerhorn! The temperature is in the high 80s, but it’s also really humid, which is not a typical Northwoods summer day. When the heat and humidity get this high, it’s time for some of the activities to head to the waterfront. Basketball, tennis, and horseback riding all […]

They say that Disneyland is the Happiest Place on Earth…but we think it’s Camp Deerhorn. Where else can you celebrate Skatie’s 10th birthday, get crafty, sail, play tennis, bike trails through the woods, shoot hoops and bows and arrows, ride horses, play disc golf, and kayak…all before dinner? The session is flying by and time […]

We did brother pictures after breakfast this morning, and it made us realize how many brothers are here right now enjoying Deerhorn together! Not only are there lots of Deerhorn brothers here, but there are also lots of sets of THREE brothers here together. It’s so great to see! I was on staff at Deerhorn […]

Koogee pictures are some of our favorites to take. Kids love hanging out with their friends in their koogee and it’s fun to get to see personalities come out in photos. Whether serious or silly, the koogee pics are always a highlight. You can also notice the koogees that shop together in the store! 😉 […]

We love Sundays at Deerhorn! We all love the break from the normal schedule, but we especially love getting to sleep in an extra hour! Breakfast this morning was quesadillas, stuffed with eggs, sausage, cheese, and hash browns. So good! After breakfast, kids enjoyed some rare free time around camp. There were games of ultimate […]

Day 3 of D session is in the books and it was another great one! The day dawned sunny and beautiful, with a lot less heat and mugginess than we’ve had the rest of this past week. When kids arrive at Deerhorn, they are put into activity groups with kids their own age. They have […]

5:45am. That’s what time the first D session campers decided to start the day today, and by 6:30, camp was full of kids on the baseball field, soccer field, playing tether ball, and tennis. Because when you’ve waited all summer to come to Camp Deerhorn, there is NO TIME TO WASTE. We had some strong […]

It’s finally here! The session that these kids have waited all summer for. The session that filled in 8 minutes and still has a waitlist 40 deep. The session that so many kids choose because it’s the only one that works with their baseball and lacrosse schedules. The session that is louder and more energetic […]

Three weeks has flown by, and suddenly the buses are pulling out of the parking lot, signaling the end of C session. We concluded our 3 week session this morning with our traditional awards breakfast. We pass out patches for Most Improved in each activity, as well as patches earned for stars. We had lots […]
