It’s so fun when we announce that we’re doing brother pictures and kids show up en masse. Not just real brothers and cousins, but groups of kids who consider themselves brothers through their friendship at Deerhorn. Boys who typically don’t like having their picture taken show up to get one with their buddies. (Though there […]

The day dawned sunny and warm and we were able to enjoy at least half a day of regular activities before the rain came around 2:00. Kids swam, played on the beach, sailed, kayaked, and skied, enjoying the morning of perfect waterfront weather. The Voyagers spent the first half of the afternoon food packing for […]

It was another beautiful day at Deerhorn today! Perfect Northern Wisconsin weather, cool morning warming to sunshine perfection. And we’ve had so much sunshine this summer that the lake has warmed up beautifully as well! Breakfast this morning was sausage, egg, and cheese croissant sandwiches and tater tots. (Everybody loves the tots!) Lunch was slopping […]

We are loving this beautiful weather! It gets down in the 50s at night, which is great for sleeping, but warms to a perfect sunny 80 degrees each day! The waterfront was hopping today as kids had fun kayaking, sailing, swimming, and playing water basketball! Sports and Games played Balcoball today, which is yet another […]

Sundays are a little different at Camp Deerhorn. We all relish the extra hour of sleep we get, as we eat breakfast at 9am instead of 8. This morning’s breakfast was egg casserole and hash browns. After breakfast, kids enjoyed some free time, which is pretty rare at Deerhorn! Some staff organized a game of […]

The sun is shining, the afternoon warmed to a perfect 75 degrees, and camp is in full swing. Breakfast was biscuits and gravy and bacon, and lunch was chicken gyros and homemade hummus and pita chips. I could tell you how much fun kids are having at camp today, or I could just show you. […]

How excited are kids to be back at Deerhorn for C session? 5:15am in the morning excited. There were already kids on the courts playing tennis and basketball at 5:15am this morning. Our bell rings at 7:15am. Clearly, there’s no time to waste! We had waffles and ham for breakfast. Kids headed back to their […]

Of all the sessions, C might be our favorite. It’s just really great to get to spend three full weeks with this group of kids and be able to settle into even more of a routine. The other three just seem to fly by so fast! We had 35 kids stay over from B session, […]

And here we are, at the end of another 2021 session. Where does time go? We had our awards breakfast this morning  and gave out patches for Most Improved in each activity, patches for stars earned, rifle sharpshooter awards, and lots of others! Our Sharpshooter awards went to Luke Wiese for juniors, Robbie Scarborough for […]

Busy day around here! This morning was the last three activity periods of B session.  We were grateful that the sun shone this morning and the rain held off until this afternoon. As you can see from the photos, kids had a blast all morning in activities! After chili dogs for lunch, kids headed back […]
