We had a GREAT time at the hockey game last night! The hockey rink makes more in concessions in one night hosting Camp Deerhorn than it does the entire rest of the year! But once kids had their snacks, they  headed back into the stands to cheer for their favorite counselor, hoping he would score […]

This day is packed full! For a day that began with a 60% chance of thunderstorms later in the afternoon, the blue skies have prevailed and it’s turn into the most beautiful, warm, sunny day at Deerhorn. We had pancakes for breakfast this morning, and pizza bagels for lunch. (Definitely a camp favorite!) Our hockey […]

Our five day ice hockey program started Monday, and kids have been having a blast! They skate for a few hours each morning, and then do regular activities in the afternoon. Our coaches, Rock, DJ, and KJ, have been with our program since its inception, over 20 years, and we love having them back each […]

Happy 4th of July from Camp Deerhorn! It’s a great place to spend the holiday, that’s for sure! We had muffins for breakfast and the dining room was decorated in red, white, and blue. We have been singing the Star Spangled Banner, as well as “Bappy Hirthday, Ear Damerica!” Lunch was corn dogs and macaroni […]

It was another beautiful day at Camp Deerhorn! We had scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast, chili for lunch, and tortellini for dinner. Sports and Games played Balcoball on the baseball field, which is basically a whiffle ball baseball game in the outfield. Tonight was big excitement in the dining room because after dinner it […]

I feel like with the above photo as the intro to this blog, there’s not much else I need to say. I love taking pictures of the Sunday event, Chariots of Fire, because the looks of pure joy as they pull their leaders across the soccer field are priceless! That photo pretty well sums up […]

We enjoyed  another day of sunshine for our second day of activities! Kids went through their second set of activity orientations today. Breakfast was cinnamon toast, a Saturday morning staple. Lunch was chicken patties and dinner was chicken cordon bleu. The line for the Rave at G-swim was not as long as the one for […]

Today was the sunshine we have been awaiting for days! Blue skies, and a breeze off the lake, and activities are off to a great start. Breakfast this morning was pancakes. Kids headed back to their koogees after breakfast to get them cleaned up. When the bell rang, campers headed to the lodge to find […]

Though the day dawned cloudy and cooler, the rain has held off all day. We had 40 kids stay over from A session, and they did activities throughout the day like sprout ball, archery, and mountain biking. We had cinnamon rolls for breakfast and BLTs for lunch. We had a few campers arrive by car […]

We ended our A session this morning with our awards breakfast, complete with waffles and strawberries for breakfast. We passed out lots of patches for stars earned in activities, as well as Most Improved patches in each activity. We like to focus on improvement in our activities, rather than on who is the best.  The […]
