Well, friends, it was another beautiful day at Deerhorn. Sunshine, blue skies, temps in the 80s. We definitely can’t complain about the weather this session. Today was the last full day of regular activities, as tomorrow’s schedule is a little bit different. Kids worked hard today to earn those last stars in activities, both for […]

We all love Sundays around here, as they not only give us a break from the schedule of the other 6 days of the week, but we also get to sleep in an hour! We had a breakfast of doughnuts and bagels this morning at 9, and then kids enjoyed several hours of free time, […]

Today is the day our Pioneers have been waiting for for many months. Today, all their hoping and planning culminated in finally being able to leave for their trip! They will spend the next 7 days backpacking the North Country Trail along Lake Superior. The weather looks like it will cooperate and their packs are […]

This morning we are all a little tired from the exciting events of the past two nights, with the hockey game followed by the 4th of July. We managed to get the fireworks in before a brief storm came through, so we were grateful for that! The sun is shining again in the blue sky […]

Days at camp are always full of fun, but the 4th of July takes it to a whole new level! The dining room is decorated, kids are decked out in red, white, and blue, and we sing patriotic songs at meals.  Kids were fired up today to celebrate the 4th. We had waffles for breakfast, […]

Well, my big news of the day is that Shutterfly is working again! All photos that have been taken during the B session are now uploaded and shared on our Shutterfly share site. Hooray! Just goes to show that good things do come to those who wait…and wait. 🙂 It’s been crazy hot at camp […]

The Serenity Prayer has always been one of my favorites. We talk about it a lot with our own kids in the face of adversity or obstacles. “Grant me the serenity to accept those things I cannot change, the courage to change those we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” What can we […]

The teams were drafted Friday night and kids were so excited to find out what teams they were on yesterday. Veteran campers know that the announcement of teams means they get to play Scalp that night…whooping and hollering in the dining room when that was announced last night at dinner! This morning dawned pretty rainy, […]

Many of our B session kids were up early this morning, ready to get the fun started. We had make-your-own burritos for breakfast, complete with homemade salsa, eggs, sausage, and potatoes. Lunch was pulled pork and onion rings. The 33 kids who stayed over from A session headed out after breakfast for a fun day […]

And now it’s time to do it all over again! We were grateful for good weather for most of today for our opening day of B session. They are calling for rain tonight, but we will hope most of it holds off until bedtime. We had some kids arrive by car today for B session, […]
