The Saddest Day at the Happiest Place
This is it, the saddest day of the summer. You would think it would come at the end of D session, which is our last camper session of the summer. But it comes today, at the end of C, because all of our Voyagers are going home. Together, the 14 of them have spent 89 summers […]
The Last Scalp
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 […]
Another Great One
First, I have to share a photo of the AC hot dog vendors from last night’s softball game…1.Because they made the game awesome, kids loved having them walk around the game yelling “Hot dogs, get your hot dogs here!” and 2. Because staff don’t get much love on the blog, since I tend to focus more […]
DK Day 2016
Today will go down as one of the best of the summer. Thanks to the hard work of our Special Events crew, Kiana, Sam, and Ryan, this afternoon we celebrated the third DK Day at Deerhorn. DK Day celebrates the legendary Dick Kinney, who has given Deerhorn 35 summers of his life, as a ski […]
Friends & Fun
Sunshine…blue skies…breeze off the lake…I am beginning to sound redundant. But seriously, we have been so lucky this summer with our weather! Kids are continuing to work on stars in activities, and of course, most importantly, having fun! Tournaments continue, including the pickle ball tournament, chess, ping pong, and tennis. It’s great to see […]
Monkeys Take Over Deerhorn!
WHAT A DAY! Again, we were blessed with beautiful, warm, sunny weather. Our morning started with french toast for breakfast at 9, followed by some free time around camp. This morning there was no shortage of things to do! Kids and staff organized rugby matches, baseball games, street hockey at the Skeeter, ultimate frisbee, and volleyball. […]
Jumping for Joy
We are jumping for joy with this incredible weather we have been having! The sun is shining, the sky is clear and the temperature is a perfect 80 degrees. Plus the sun has shone for days on end, so our lake water is nice and warm. There was just enough wind for sailing, but […]
Another Great Day
We are loving this change in the weather. It’s much more what a summer in Wisconsin should be. It’s cool when we wake up in the morning, but the sun is shining, and by afternoon it’s warm and perfect. The heat and humidity of last week have passed, and we are all pretty happy about […]
The Boys are Back in Town!
We said goodbye to our E session boys as they headed home after a week at camp. We hope they want to come back to Deerhorn next summer for longer, as one week just isn’t enough to fit it all in!! And then we welcomed our Voyagers back with open arms around 5:00 this […]
Rainy Day Fun
We awoke this morning to rain showers that lasted through the first two periods. After pancakes for breakfast, kids cleaned up their koogees and headed off to activities. Some activities, like crafts and riflery, are able to continue in the rain, while others have to get a little creative. Rainy day activities included ping […]
