Day 7 of each session is a Special Day at Camp Deerhorn. We sleep in an hour and have breakfast at 9am. This morning it was scrambled eggs and potatoes. After breakfast, kids had some rare free time around camp. There was a movie going in the basement of the Hall (where it’s always a […]

We woke up this morning to thunderstorms and pouring rain, and during breakfast the winds were so high it was blowing the rain into Che’s Lounge screened porch where some of us were eating breakfast. But the winds died as quickly as they had come and by the time activities had started, the sun was […]

It’s so fun taking koogee pictures. For a lot of kids, their koogee is their favorite part of Deerhorn. For most, it’s the first time they’ve shared a space with anyone other than their family. That definitely comes with some speed bumps, but it’s such a growth experience for kids, especially for when they go […]

Have I mentioned we are loving this change in weather from just a week ago? There is abundant sunshine today and warm temps make those water activities that much more appealing. Trips to the Rave, playing on sailboards, heading down the slide, heading out in canoes, kayaks, and sailboats…the waterfront is a great place to […]

Today is the second set of activities for campers. Since it’s the first time campers have had these activities, staff will go over rules and instruction, but also try to get kids into the action as quickly as possible. The only activities where campers have choice is in biking/crafts and riding/golf, since those activities share […]

What a gorgeous day! It’s honestly the first blue sky sunny day we’ve had in awhile. The dads and sons who were just here for Father Son 2 wouldn’t believe how warm it was today after how cold it was on Friday and Saturday. We are ecstatic for the turn around! We had chocolate chip […]

They’ve been waiting all winter, and it’s finally their turn! Our A Session is full speed ahead! The 21 kids who stayed over from Father Son 2 had a great time at the waterpark yesterday and woke up ready to get their own session started. We had kids arriving by car throughout the day, and […]

First, and most importantly, Happy Father’s Day to all of our Deerhorn Dads! We’ve spent the past 8 days with 65 incredible families at our two Father Son camps. We count ourselves very lucky to call them friends. Hearing all the rave reviews today as dads were leaving, we know that they didn’t let the […]

Once again, we woke to rain and chilly temperatures. It’s definitely not been a typical week of weather in the Northwoods! Sports and Games played a wild game of hockey in the basement of Deerhorn Hall with lots of dads and kids joining in the fun. There was lots of action upstairs in the Hall […]

Well the weather might not be anything to write home about, but rain doesn’t stop the fun around here. It’s been raining all day and it’s definitely a chilly one. Some families chose to head into town to go bowling, but lots stayed around here for some indoor fun. Deerhorn Hall was busy all day, […]
