Remember when I said yesterday that the Monkey Relays were happening today? Apparently I was just kidding. 😉 For some reason, over the last several years, it has always rained on the day of the Monkey Relays, and this year was no exception. Some years we have started the relays and had to stop and […]

It was another beautiful day at Camp Deerhorn today! It’s hard to believe the session is winding down, and there are only a few more days in C session. Breakfast this morning was chocolate chip pancakes (crowd favorite!), lunch was turkey wraps and chips, and dinner was meatloaf, pasta, peas, and cheesecake for dessert! The […]

Our E session boys left this morning after breakfast. (sausage, egg, and cheese sandwiches, and tater tots). Judging by the smiles on their faces on the waterfront yesterday, we think they had a pretty great week at camp! We hope they want to come back next summer for even longer! After lunch of Philly cheesesteaks, […]

“When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks, but celebrate them with glad cries of ‘Me too!’ be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.” Koogee life is one of kids’ favorite part of a summer at Deerhorn…late night stories told, laughter shared, games invented to pass the time during […]

Well, friends, the sun continues to shine and kids are busy in activities! It was another great day at Deerhorn. Breakfast this morning was scrambled eggs, sausage, and hash browns. Lunch was sub sandwiches and chips. We are all looking forward to tonight’s Thanksgiving dinner, with turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, and pumpkin pie. We […]

The sun is shining, the temperature is a perfect 75 degrees, and there’s a great breeze off the lake. It doesn’t get any better than this. For breakfast this morning, we had french toast and sausage, and lunch was gyros and homemade hummus. Activities are in full swing and the E session boys are loving […]

After weeks of heat and humidity uncommon in the Northwoods, bliss is 75 and sunny, with very low humidity. It changes everything around here. The dining room is way more pleasant, everyone is kinder to each other, and sleeping in koogees is WAY easier. This weather is simply bliss.Life is always great at camp, but […]

We really love Sundays at Camp Deerhorn. The other six days of the week are much more scheduled, with much less free time. Sundays allow a little flexibility and a little free choice. But the most popular part of Sundays is the fact that we wake up an hour later! Sunday mornings there are games […]

Our Voyagers left yesterday, off on their grand adventure. While they are gone, we bring in 10 kids who are 7-10 years old and coming to camp for the first time. We call this session our E session, or “Spike Bucks.” They arrived today with their parents, some nervous, but all excited. We love introducing […]

Our Voyagers were up bright and early this morning to head off on their kayaking adventure. They were greeted at the bus by a ton of friends, there to wish them bon voyage. It’s pretty awesome to see how many kids show up to see them off. They are heading to the Apostle Islands National […]
