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 […]
Sunshine & Skiing
This is the view we woke to this morning…perfect glass out on the lake, just begging campers to come ski on it. The sun shone all day and kids took full advantage of the calm lake to get up on skis, wakeboards, and kneeboards. It was another hot one at camp, but that just […]
Attack of the Sioux!
(Many thanks to Luke Funk for guest blogging about today’s events!) Sundays are a little bit different here at camp. We sleep in an extra hour and have a fairly laid back morning. Campers have the opportunity to play street hockey, ultimate frisbee, read, write letters, or just spend time with friends. […]
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 […]
