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 […]


Pugawaggan 2017

It was an incredibly beautiful day for our first Sunday event of C session. We all love sleeping in an hour on Sundays, and kids love the extra free time in the morning after breakfast that is a rarity at camp. Breakfast was blueberry pancakes, and then the leaders had team meetings and kids played […]


All Good Here!

The second full day of C session brought sunshine and breezes off the lake, as campers head to their second set of activities to learn the ropes and have some fun. Breakfast this morning was the Saturday morning tradition of cinnamon toast, lunch was chicken patties, and dinner was tacos. The 56 kids who stayed […]

The C Session Draft

We woke to beautiful sunshine for our first full day of C session. After muffins for breakfast, kids went back to their koogees to get them clean. When the bell rang, we met in the lodge to find out which activity groups they were in, and then the day could begin! Kids had three activity […]


C Session Has Begun!

The buses arrived at 3:00 this afternoon and C session is in full swing! We’ve had a busy day here at camp before their arrival, with some kids arriving by car and everyone doing activities like kickball, ultimate frisbee, basketball, and sprout ball. Breakfast this morning was french toast, lunch was shepherd’s pie, and dinner […]


A Great Send Off!

We awoke to rain this morning, so that delayed our baggage pick up until after breakfast. However, we still managed to get the buses off on time at 11am. This morning’s awards breakfast was another great one! We passed out lots of awards including patches earned for stars, and most improved patches in each activity. […]


Time Flies…

…when you’re having fun. And it’s hard to believe that B session is already over. Two weeks flew by in a blink. We enjoyed more sun, more warmth, and more blue skies today. Kids had their last three periods of activities this morning, working on earning those last few stars for their teams. Breakfast was […]
