Excitement
The day started bright and early before 6am for our Spike Buck counselors, as their kids were up and ready with questions to start the day… “Where do I mail a letter?” “Should I go brush my teeth?” “When is breakfast?” (In two. more. hours.) Our counselors were amazing and handle it all with patience […]
Spike Bucks
Since our Voyagers are gone for 8 days, today we welcomed 11 E session campers. We call them Spike Bucks, and they are 7-10 years old and are coming to camp for the first time. We love E session campers because of the energy and enthusiasm they bring to camp. They are excited about EVERYTHING, […]
Voyager & The Deerhorn Sun
Our Voyagers left this morning at 7am, bound for 8 days of sea kayaking in the truly incredible Apostle Islands of Lake Superior. They will shove off from the town of Bayfield and camp for the next week on several different islands. Tonight they will be staying on Basswood Island. They were all thrilled to […]
“Best Day Ever!”
The Lake Superior trip got back today around 5. All reports were that the trip was awesome and they had so much fun. They loved the berry picking today, and loved feeding animals at the zoo yesterday. I’m sure they will all have lots of stories to tell when they get home…or tomorrow night at […]
Great Lakes, Gorp, & Giraffes
Today might be the busiest day of the entire summer at Deerhorn… SO much going on it’s hard to know where to start. The Lake Superior overnight trip left this morning with 34 kids. Their first stop today was the Wildwood Animal Park in Minocqua. Kids love that place, with deer wandering around that you […]
Team Spirit
The leaders drafted their teams last night, so kids got to find out this morning which team they were on. There’s always lots of excitement around camp when teams are announced. Breakfast this morning was eggs and toast, lunch was chicken patties (crowd favorite), and dinner is pork roast. Sports & Games played ultimate frisbee […]
Grace
The sun is shining again today as kids head off into their first activities of this session. It was pancakes for breakfast, turkey burgers for lunch, and we’re having tacos for dinner. Sports and Games is playing World Cup Soccer on the soccer field. After breakfast, kids cleaned up their koogees and then met to […]
A Glorious Beginning
Today was one of those days at camp when you look out at the sparkling lake, the sun shining in the blue sky, and the breeze blowing and you think, “I am so lucky to be here.” We couldn’t have asked for better weather to start C session. When we woke up this morning, it […]
Awesomeness
B Session…filled with so much awesomeness you can hardly stand it. What a great group of kids we were privileged to spend two weeks with. We hope you had as much fun as we did! Many awards were passed out this morning at our awards breakfast. Alex Polovin won the junior tennis tournament and Ben […]
Family
The last day of B session is here. It’s been a busy one, as last days always are. This morning was the last three periods of regular activities, so kids worked hard to get those last stars. Sports & Games had a “grab bag” of activities, where kids could choose what activity they wanted each […]
