It’s hard to believe that today was the last full day of activities for the summer of 2016. Tomorrow’s schedule will be a little bit different.  Kids had a great time in activities, but also continue to work on star requirements. For those of you who are new to Deerhorn, our focus at camp is […]

We woke to a cloudy Friday morning, with pancakes for breakfast…but at least we didn’t get more rain! It’s also been slightly cooler, which has been nice.  Sports and Games today played Gasebolf, which is a game where kids tee off at home plate with a tennis ball and golf club…and then run the bases […]

We woke up to an absolute torrential downpour! After blueberry scones for breakfast,  counselors made announcements about where their activities would be meeting in the rain…like the office porch, the lodge, or the wolf den. Arts & crafts and riflery continued as usual. But the rain fell so hard that we decided to just have […]

It was a warm, muggy day at Deerhorn today, making water activities very popular! We are ready for this humidity to pass and for slightly cooler weather! For breakfast, you might have thought we were having corn dogs, but they were pancake wrapped sausages on a stick…much more popular with kids than with the grown-ups! […]

Today was a little different at Deerhorn. Because of where our changeover days fell, we weren’t able to have typical Sundays with big afternoon team events. So this afternoon we pretended like it was Sunday… The day started out as usual, with muffins for breakfast, and three regular activity periods before having pizza bagels for […]

It’s always an exciting day at camp when the teams are announced, and the line out the store today to buy team colors said it all!  The leaders drafted last night in secret and the teams were announced today just before lunch.       Breakfast this morning was scrambled eggs and toast, and then […]

First morning of D session…and there were lots of kids up at 5:45am, playing basketball, tetherball, cleaning their koogees, ready to start the day! These kids are excited and there is no time to waste!   We had french toast for breakfast, kids returned to their koogees to clean up, then they returned to the […]

Hold on tight! It’s going to be a wild ride…D session has begun, and we have no doubt that it will fly by in a flash of craziness, enthusiasm, questions, and excitement! We are back to capacity for D session, which means we have 142 boys, and more than a third of them are joining us for […]

It’s hard to believe the last day of C session has arrived. We enjoyed bagels for breakfast, chili for lunch, and chicken tenders for dinner (with dirt cups for dessert!!). We woke to sunshine, but by mid-morning the skies had darkened and it started pouring just before lunch.  Luckily, we were still able to have […]
