This night always sneaks up on us. All of a sudden camper only sessions are over and it’s time for the Water Campfire. After breakfast sandwiches and tater tots for breakfast, kids had three final activity periods this morning, trying to earn those last few stars. Sports and Games played sprout ball this morning and […]

We managed to get a few fun groups of photos over the past few days. We announce at one of the meals that we are taking brother pictures and that anyone who wants their photo taken with their brother, cousin, or friend, can come. If you didn’t see your sons in those photos, it means […]

Today’s weather has been really weird. It’s sunny, then it storms for five minutes. It’s sunny, then it’s dark and we hear thunder. It makes activities a little tricky, because we want to either run regular activities or go with the rainy day plan. But it makes it tough when it keeps constantly changing! Breakfast […]

Today was another beautiful day at Camp Deerhorn. Breakfast was french toast sticks and sausage, lunch was sub sandwiches, and dinner was penne with meat sauce, caesar salad, and homemade bread. Activities are in full swing, as campers work for stars and just plain old have fun! They have six activities Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, […]

Yesterday’s team event was super fun and the Iroquois came out on top! Chippewa came in second, the Navajo came in third, and the Apache came in fourth. Kids had a great time, and we all enjoyed an extra long final regular session campfire last night. Kids like Freddy Trafelet were brave enough to get […]

Sundays are a little bit different at Camp Deerhorn. We are all super excited to sleep in every Sunday, having breakfast at 9am instead of 8am. And this Sunday’s breakfast was an extra special treat. Fred, one of our chefs, woke up at 2am to come in and make 27 dozen homemade cinnamon rolls for […]

The Leaders drafted late last night, so this morning we announced teams after third period of activities. Kids are always excited to find out what teams they are on, and tonight will be all-camp Scalp to kick off team competition for D session. But that’s not the only fun happening around camp. Breakfast was pancakes […]

We just finished C session, a session with only about 8 first-year campers and over 100 teenagers. Many kids straggled late to breakfast because they often slept until first call for breakfast at 7:50am. By the end of the session, some of the teenagers need a little more convincing to get to their activities on […]

Our opening day of D session dawned bright and beautiful, ready for campers to arrive. The 18 kids who stayed over from C session had an amazing time at the zipline yesterday and woke up ready to greet lots of old friends and make new ones. We had scrambled eggs, hash browns, and toast today […]
