The Leaders drafted teams early this morning, so kids got to find out before lunch what teams they are on. That always makes for excitement around camp! We were grateful to wake up to sunshine and blue skies today, with a high of 80 degrees. Way better than yesterday’s weather! After scrambled eggs and biscuits […]

We woke to pouring rain this morning, which isn’t a great way to greet campers to Deerhorn! But although it stayed cloudy all day, the rain stopped and activities continued! Kids arrived by car all morning, and the buses pulled in around 3. Then it was full speed ahead! Kids moved into their koogees, took […]

And just like that, ten days have passed and A session is over. At our awards breakfast this morning, we passed out lots of awards for Most Improved and patches earned for stars in activities. Our rifle awards for high score went to Connor McSwain for juniors (score of 22), Owen Edwards for intermediates (31), […]

Our last full day of A session is in the books. Breakfast was pancakes and sausage. Lunch was Italian beef sandwiches and potato wedges. Dinner was spaghetti and meatballs and caesar salad. The morning dawned chilly again today, but the sun shone all day long. Morning was spent in the last three regular activity periods […]

Some kids come to camp with their brother or their cousin. Others make friends at Deerhorn who feel like brothers. We love seeing kids come get pictures with their “brothers” who are actually kids they just met at camp. Speaking from experience, sharing Deerhorn with your brother is a special thing. My first year at […]

Lots happening in Deerhorn World today! Matt and Alvaro  made the trek to resupply our Pathfinders and found them happy, healthy, and having a great trip! Back at camp, we slept in an hour to have doughnuts and sausage for breakfast. Kids then had some rare free time this morning. Counselors organized street hockey and […]

Kids earn 25 points for their team for a red star, 50 points for a blue star, and 100 points for a […]

It’s hard to believe today marks the halfway point in A session! Time really does fly when you’re having fun! It’s so fun watching kids make new friends and watching those friendships strengthen in such a short time. So many smiles and so much laughter around camp. Breakfast this morning was sausage, egg, and cheese […]

We enjoyed another beautiful day at Deerhorn today, including a breeze off the lake that was great for sailing. Breakfast was a fan favorite, pancakes and bacon. Lunch was tacos, which is also always a hit! We managed to get koogee pictures today at rest hour, and those are always fun to see! The rest […]

Today was a big day at Camp Deerhorn…lots of exciting things happening. Our Pathfinders left this morning around 7:30am. We are glad that we were able to pull off a trip for them this summer, since they missed last year, but it sure has been a whirlwind two days getting them ready! We can’t wait […]
