The Rain is Gone

We woke this morning to cloudy skies and it rained most of the morning. Some activities, like arts & crafts and riflery, continued in the rain. Other activities played board games, ping pong, or rafter ball in the lodge. We also had a movie going in the lodge this morning. But by lunch the clouds […]


Fun in the Koogees

Though today’s temperatures were a little cooler, campers still had a great time in activities. Sports & Games played a game called Star Wars, which is a version of dodgeball with a few variations. (You’ll find there are lots of variations of dodgeball at Camp Deerhorn!) We managed to get all the koogee photos taken […]


The Beauty of Routine

Our C session has been so busy from the beginning, that this is the first full week of just regular activities! We are happy to settle into the routine of day-to-day camp, and E session kids have learned the ropes quickly. Today was the re-ration for the Voyagers, so two leaders paddled back to the […]


Attack of the Sioux

Today’s weather is cloudy and a little cooler, but we were glad there was no rain. We slept in this morning until 8:15 and had pancakes for breakfast at 9. After breakfast, campers enjoyed some rare free time around camp. Our Spike Bucks and juniors played sprout ball on the baseball field, and there were […]


The Spike Bucks Are Here!

Today we welcomed 11 kids, who are 7-10 years old, who are coming to camp for the first time! They are excited to be here and we are excited for our E session “Spike Bucks” to learn all about Camp Deerhorn this week! Sports and Games played baseball today on DK field. Breakfast was bagels, […]


New Adventures

Our Voyagers left this morning at 7:30am to head to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on their big adventure. They’ve been planning for the trip for three weeks, and were bursting with excitement to finally get on the road! They will spend the next 8 days sea kayaking and camping on Basswood, Stockton, Oak, and […]


Warm and Sunny

We were glad to have everyone back safe and sound from Lake Superior and regular activities continued as usual today. The sun shone and the breeze blew and it was the perfect day for waterfront activities! Breakfast this morning was french toast, lunch was chili dogs, and dinner was roast pork with green bean casserole. […]


Whew!

It was another crazy busy day at Deerhorn! The Lake Superior Trip had an amazing time, even though they had some rain yesterday that changed their plans a little. They spent some time at an indoor pool at a hotel until the rain cleared, and then they headed to Madeline Island as planned. They got […]


Busy Days!

There is so much going on at Deerhorn this week. Every week is busy, but this week is probably the craziest of our summer! The Lake Superior Trip left this morning with 32 kids. They headed to Minocqua for breakfast at Paul Bunyan’s, then drove up to Bayfield to get settled in at the campground. […]


In Your Shoes

Every day during the summer I write a blog. And some days I just write about the day’s activities, the weather, and the menu for the day. And other days I focus more on the amazing benefits of a summer at camp. I talk about the growth you’ll see in your son when he returns […]
