Whew! It’s another hot one here at Camp Deerhorn! By the afternoon, Sports and Games and Horseback Riding headed down to the waterfront for some water jousting to cool off in the 90 degree temperatures. Kids also had fun going down the waterslide, playing on the sailboards, and just swimming in the A-dock. Breakfast was […]

WHEW! What a full day it has been! We got to sleep in an hour this morning and have breakfast at 9, and our morning was a little lazier with some camper free time. But the rest of the day was packed full! Breakfast was doughnuts and sausage, lunch was tacos, and dinner was burgers […]

The temperature reached almost 90 today, making for great waterfront weather! We had blueberry pancakes and bacon for breakfast, and chicken ranch wraps for lunch.

Our Pioneers left early this morning on their 8 day backpacking expedition along the Ice Age Trail. They were all super excited to go, and even had friends who woke up early to see them off! We can’t wait to hear all about their trip when they return next Friday! Back at camp, it was […]

There’s a saying that goes “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass…it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” Here at Deerhorn, we prefer “It’s about learning to find the best mudsliding spot!” Yesterday’s weather wasn’t great, but the hours after dinner when the sky cleared and the sun came out were pretty […]

Today hasn’t been the best, weather-wise, but it hasn’t stopped the fun! We woke to overcast skies and  an ugly forecast, but luckily there have been plenty of periods of respite in the midst of the rain. Our rainy day plan has two contingencies, one for just light rain and the other for storms. Today […]

We love taking koogee pictures at rest hour! It’s so fun to see personalities come out and we know that the koogee experience is one of kids’ favorite parts of camp. Breakfast this morning was scrambled eggs and ham, and lunch was sloppy joes and onion rings. The sun has been shining all day, though […]
