The Lake Superior Trip left this morning before breakfast with 32 kids, heading north and making some fun stops along the way. They stopped and had breakfast at Paul Bunyan’s in Minocqua before going to the Wildwood Zoo. Their final destination was Bayfield, Wisconsin, where they took a ferry across to Madeline Island to swim […]

With our Lake Superior overnight trip leaving tomorrow,  our Voyagers leaving on Friday,  and E session boys arriving on Saturday, life is busy at Deerhorn this week. Days at camp are always full, but this week is definitely the most hectic of our summer. I am, of course, speaking from the perspective of a director, […]

Sundays bring a welcome change in routine each week. We all get really excited to sleep in an extra hour and have breakfast at 9. This morning it was scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes. Kids get to enjoy some free time on Sunday mornings, and some choose to play street hockey on the Skeeter, or […]

Our second full day of activities for C session dawned grey and foggy, but it didn’t take long for the fog to burn off and the sun to come out. Breakfast this morning was french toast sticks with homemade bread and sausage patties. Kids who were here for B session left after breakfast to head […]

The day dawned cloudy and rainy, but the sun has been trying to peek out all day. Activities are in full swing, beginning with an orientation in each activity period.

The summer is sure flying by here at camp and here we are at the start of our 3 week C session. Kids who stayed over had a great time last night with the magician, and were wowed by many amazing tricks.  We woke up this morning to loud cracks of thunder and pouring rain, […]

Today we say goodbye to many of our B session campers. We have 58 kids who are staying over for C session, but the rest went home today. Nothing speaks to the power of Deerhorn more than the last day of camp. Boys of all ages realize that day that showing emotion is ok, that […]

The second to last day of the session is always busy. After breakfast, (breakfast tacos) we start with three regular activity periods, the final three of the session. Kids work hard to earn those last few stars. After lunch (brats and onion rings), we do a walk through of ALL the lost and found from […]

Our Pioneers left this morning, bright and early at 7:30am, and they all were raring to go! It was about a 4 1/2 hour drive to their destination, the North Country Trail. They are hiking a section that follows Lake Superior the entire way, and from the research Patrick has done and the photos we’ve […]

What a day at Deerhorn!! This weather has been incredible, and we are so grateful for the continued stretch of sunshine! We slept in an extra hour today and had breakfast casserole at 9.
