Scalp!

This morning after doughnuts for breakfast was the last morning of activities, and kids worked really hard to earn those last stars.  At rest hour, everyone got all their stuff packed up to go home or move koogees. This afternoon was three periods of team competition.  The first two included games like Klepton, Indian Ball, […]


Smiles & Silliness

The past few days have been pretty exciting around camp as the Zombie Apocalypse has been happening with our 15 and 16 year olds.  They all started the game a few days ago with blank white t-shirts. One of them started as patient zero and tried to get everyone else with their red-painted hands.  Every […]


THE MONKEYS!

After days of sunshine and perfect weather, we woke (an hour later) to dark skies and thunderstorms…as monkey chatter filled the dining room and bananas hung from the rafters, the question on everyone’s mind was…Will the Monkeys go on? The Monkey Relays are the biggest Sunday event of the summer, the grandaddy of them all, […]


Another Great Day!

Tomorrow is the biggest Sunday event of the summer, the Monkey Relays. In preparation, there have been kids carrying ping pong balls on spoons all over camp…because, you have to practice that sort of thing. So much excitement and anticipation surround the Monkeys!   The sun shone, kids got to play their favorite game of […]


HOORAY!

What a day! The sun shone once again, we had a banner day of coffee cake for breakfast, grilled cheese for lunch, and chicken alfredo for dinner (with dirt cups for dessert!) But the best news of all is our Voyagers have come home! The bus arrived around 4:00 this afternoon, the PA announcement was […]


Friendship

Perhaps one of the greatest gifts a summer at Deerhorn can offer is friendship.  Some boys come to camp with several of their good buddies from home and they all want to be in the same koogee.  Others come to camp knowing not a soul.  But either way, campers quickly realize how easy it is to […]


Koogee Fun

Kids love staying in a koogee…they love getting to hang out with their friends at rest hour and G-Swim, and for many kids it’s their favorite part of camp. It’s always funny taking koogee pictures, because it is always a trick to gather them all together, especially with ping pong, chess, pickle ball, and tennis tournaments […]


Boys Just Wanna Have Fun

We enjoyed another amazing day of sunshine and breezes off the lake. Breakfast was cinnamon rolls, lunch was meatball subs, and dinner was steak fajitas.  There are lots of tournaments happening around camp, including tennis, ping pong, chess, and pickle ball.  Games are played during rest hour, g-swim, and during tennis class.  Kids love participating […]
