Glorious
After yesterday’s weather, we were all thrilled to wake up this morning to sunshine and blue skies. It was a cool start to the day, but it quickly warmed up this afternoon and the waterfront was once again hopping. Sailing, skiing, Rave, waterslide, kayaks…all were busy all afternoon. Today was also our guided fishing day […]
A Little Bit of Rain
We like to say it doesn’t rain at Camp Deerhorn, but we also want to live the Creed and Speak the Truth. 😉 The day dawned cool and cloudy, and it rained all morning at camp. By early afternoon, however, the rain had stopped and it warmed up just a little. During these rainy days, […]
Round Two
We were greeted by a day of beautiful sunshine to welcome our second round of Father Son campers today. This session has a lot of Deerhorn alumni and dads who have been with us at Father Son camp for almost a decade. We love greeting old friends, but we are also glad to welcome new […]
Lucky
We have really lucked out with the weather around here. It rained during dinner last night, but quit right after dinner so that we could play Capture the Flag and have the campfire outside. It turned out to be a beautiful evening, and we once again were lucky to be surrounded by great entertainment by […]
More Sunshine and Smiles
Today dawned cooler than yesterday but the sun shone all day. The beach wasn’t quite as popular today with the cooler temperatures, but all of our other activities were hopping. The craft shop stayed busy with dads and sons making some creative projects together. Riflery and archery were busy, as always! Sports and Games played […]
Our 90th Year
Welcome to the summer of 2019! It’s finally here and we are off and running. We couldn’t have asked for a better day to kick off our 90th season. It was cloudy this morning, but by this afternoon the skies were blue and the sun shone and smiles were seen all around camp. Today started […]
Settling Into Deerhorn
As the summer is drawing ever closer, we hope you are getting excited to spend a few weeks with us this summer. This blog is a continuation in our series geared toward our first-year campers. It may seem a little overwhelming at first, but you will be amazed at how quickly you feel at home […]
Your First Day at Deerhorn
This coming summer, we have over 100 kids who will be coming to Camp Deerhorn for the first time. Even those who have attended Father Son camp with their dads will find that the schedule for regular sessions is quite different. We understand that first year campers might have some anxiety about coming to camp, […]
Dear Friends
Dear Friends, The week has gotten away from me. Every year, camp ends in such a whirlwind of taking docks out, packing equipment away, cleaning koogees, and saying goodbyes. And then the whirlwind of packing up our own house to move back home. Suddenly it’s five days later and I never wrote that final blog. […]
The Perfect Ending
The morning dawned cloudy and cool, but we were all pretty happy to wear sweatshirts for just a little while. By lunchtime, the clouds had burned off, taking the humidity with them, and left us with the perfect Northwoods afternoon to end our Father Son session. Breakfast this morning was french toast, scrambled eggs, and […]
