You ask many kids what their favorite part of camp is, and they will tell you “hanging out in the koogee with my friends.” Giggling in the dark after lights out, playing card games at rest hour, friendships formed. Whether serious or silly, it’s fun to see kids’ personalities come out in the photos. We […]

This is one of the best parts of Camp Deerhorn. We love having visitors at camp who were campers themselves, but this weekend we were treated to an extra special visit. The leaders of 1993 are all back this weekend to celebrate their 25th anniversary of their leader year. I am a little biased, because […]

All week I’ve been telling you about how busy life is at camp…from the 4th of July to the Zombie Apocalypse, to preparations for Voyager and Pioneer…and I’ve neglected hockey! Our hockey camp started on Monday and we have about 30 kids playing. They skate each morning from 9-11 and then are in regular activities […]

The dining room is decked out in red, white, and blue, campers are sporting some great patriotic gear, and everybody got a flag bandana at breakfast this morning! We sang the National Anthem and also Bappy Hirthday to America! It’s been a great 4th of July here at camp already! Breakfast this morning was a […]

Life is busy around camp when July hits! Tomorrow is the Fourth of July, and preparations are underway for relays and fireworks. Our Pioneer and Voyager Leadership Programs have been busy having meetings and preparing for their trips. Pioneers leave on Monday, so it’s full speed ahead for them. This morning they did an orienteering […]

What a great “Sunday” it has been here at camp. We were all excited for that extra hour of sleep this morning, and enjoyed our breakfast of cheesy eggs and sausage. After breakfast, campers had some rare free time around camp. Lots of kids played street hockey on the Skeeter or Ultimate Frisbee on the […]

In the “real world” today is Sunday. And normally, on Sundays, our schedule at camp is a little bit different. But you’ll have to stay tuned until tomorrow to hear all about our Sunday events, because today, at camp, it is “Monday.” Our big Sunday event this afternoon was supposed to be Chariots of Fire. […]

There are lots of campers who choose to come to camp in August because “it’s warmer than it is in June.” I can tell you that I wouldn’t ever want it to be any hotter at camp than it is right now. They are forecasting rain for tonight and tomorrow, so we are hoping that […]

Today’s high in the 90s means it’s a great day for the waterfront and trips down the slide! It definitely doesn’t get this hot up here very often, but we are glad to have our water activities to cool off! Breakfast this morning was scrambled eggs and biscuits and gravy. After breakfast, kids headed back […]

We are once again grateful for a beautiful day of warm sunshine. It got a little hot in the afternoon, but was the perfect start to our B session. Kids who stayed over from A session were put in temporary groups for the day as others arrived by car.  They did activities like sprout ball, […]
