More Fun in the Sun

It was another gorgeous day at Camp Deerhorn, chock full of sunshine and joy. The waterfront was busy again today, as the temperature climbed to 85 degrees. But sailing, skiing, swimming, and kayaking weren’t the only popular activities. Alvaro said he had so many mountain bikers today that all of our bikes were out at […]


For the First Time in Forever

There were trips down the waterslide…sailboats ripping across the lake…kids learning to shoot archery…horses ridden on trails…laughter, running, KIDS at camp! How do we even begin to put into words what this day means to all of us? Not just us as directors and staff, but as parents and kids and humans who have lived […]


Look For Ponies

Today we would like to share another letter from a grateful Deerhorn parent. Where do I even begin to thank you and your family?  The boys had such a wonderful time.  As they have gotten older, but in particular this year, they seem to really appreciate just how special their time at Deerhorn is.  They […]


Here’s to 90 More

Our 90th summer was an incredible one. Our staff was incredible, the four Leaders did an amazing job, and we were surrounded all summer with the best kids you could ever hope to meet. We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to be a part of the lives of so many wonderful families. Whether you worked at […]


A Great Day of Fishing

We are SO grateful that the weather today is a 180 degree difference from yesterday! While it dawned cool and foggy, the fog quickly burned off and gave way to beautiful sunshine and 80 degrees the entire day! It was the perfect day to spend on the waterfront, although other activities were busy as well. […]


Rain Can’t Stop Us

So today’s weather wasn’t as good as yesterday’s. We awoke this morning to cooler temperatures and rain, and it has been raining off and on all day. Luckily the rain quit after breakfast, and we had a full morning of activities without rain. This afternoon has not been quite so lucky. We’ve definitely had some […]


The Best for Last

Although the day started cloudy and drizzly, the sun eventually emerged and it turned into a beautiful day. We are so grateful for good weather to start our last Father Son session, ending out the summer of 2019. This session has a lot more little guys, many of whom have never been to Deerhorn, and […]


Father Son 3

Last night’s Scalp game and campfire complete with s’mores were great ways to end this amazing Father Son session. For dads who wanted some more action today, we had activities running until 11am. Now it’s time to get everything ready for our final Father Son session, which starts tomorrow. Many thanks to all the dads […]


Fishing and More Fun

It rained all night, and when we woke this morning, it was grey and drizzling, but by breakfast the rain had stopped and it was done for the day! We were very grateful, especially since today was our guided fishing day. It was definitely on the cooler side all day, but that didn’t stop the […]


Another Day of Fun

While there was some cloud cover throughout the day, it warmed up nicely and made for a great day down on the waterfront. Activities ran all day and dads and sons enjoyed the craft shop, horseback rides, and mountain biking through the woods. Breakfast this morning was blueberry pancakes and sausage, and lunch was chicken […]
