An End and a Beginning
And just like that, the buses have departed and many of our A session kids are on their way home. We had a great awards breakfast this morning. We enjoyed waffles and sausage for breakfast and handed out patches for Most Improved in each activity as well as patches earned for stars in activities. The […]
A Great Last Day
Well, those ten days sure flew by in a flash! It was a fun-filled final day of A session. We had blueberry pancakes and bacon for breakfast, and kids had three final activity periods this morning to work on those last few stars. After roast beef au jus sandwiches for lunch, it was time to […]
Dear Derek
Dear Derek, If life were fair and just, you would be here right now. We would be playing ultimate frisbee with you on the soccer field on Sunday mornings, and listening to you and Papa sing at the campfire. We would be laughing at your hilarious counselor show skits, and paddling canoes with you out […]
The 2018 Treasure Hunt
Sundays are a little different around Deerhorn. We sleep in an extra hour, and have breakfast at 9. This morning it was scrambled eggs, hash browns, and sausage for breakfast. After breakfast, there’s a couple of rare hours of free time. Counselors organized games like street hockey and ultimate frisbee. At 11:30, one of our […]
Brotherhood
You will hear the word “brotherhood” spoken of frequently at Deerhorn. Friendship at camp run deep and many of our staff were campers together years ago. We truly are a family and both kids and staff often refer to their Deerhorn Brothers. But even more special is getting to share the Deerhorn experience with your […]
Time Flies
We are incredibly thankful for our continued good weather. The sun shines, the skies are blue, and it’s been a perfect 75 degrees every day. Time really flies around here, as it’s hard to believe we are already halfway through this session. Kids are earning stars in activities, and loving team comp in the evening. […]
Lessons Learned
Lots of good photos from last night’s games of Scalp will be posted later today on Shutterfly. Eleven and under played on the baseball field, and 12 and up played on the soccer field. It’s always interesting to watch the differences between the two. While there is still fierce competition on the senior field, it’s […]
Teams are Drafted!
It’s always a big exciting day at Deerhorn when teams are announced. After scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes for breakfast, kids went to three more activity periods this morning. We ended third period early to announce teams and pass out team shirts. Sports and Games played flag football today, and for lunch we had chicken […]
A Beautiful Day in this Neighborhood
We are so grateful for the change in weather! The sun is shining, it’s a perfect 77 degrees, and camp needs to dry out! This morning was chocolate chip pancakes and sausage, so needless to say it was a big hit! After breakfast, kids found out what groups they were in and then the action […]
Off and Running!
While the morning dawned grey and raining, after a full night of rain, by mid-morning the rain stopped and the sun came out! We were so grateful for the sunshine and maybe now camp can finally start to dry out! We had 43 kids stay over from our last Father Son session, and we all […]
