Well the weather might not be anything to write home about, but rain doesn’t stop the fun around here. It’s been raining all day and it’s definitely a chilly one. Some families chose to head into town to go bowling, but lots stayed around here for some indoor fun. Deerhorn Hall was busy all day, […]

Our first Father Son camp was a great success and now it’s time for another round! Dads arrived starting right at 9am today, ready to get the party started. Once again, we have a good mix of new friends and alumni, many of whom were campers themselves. It’s so awesome to watch them come back […]

It might not have rained today for our last full day of Father Son 1, but it definitely was a chilly one. Today was our guided fishing day, so dads and sons had a great time with our professional guides. Some just trolled for smaller fish, while others wanted to try for the elusive musky. […]

Well, we’re not going to brag about the weather today. It rained pretty much the entire day, with the sun finally peeking out around 4:30, when activities wrapped up! Dads and son still found plenty of fun things to do around camp. There were board games in the lodge, lots of ping pong and darts […]

We made it! The summer of 2025 is actually here! We kicked off our 1st Father Son camp this morning in the pouring rain, but luckily the rain quit by 10 and we had sunshine for most of the rest of the day. This is a great session of returning dads and also lots of […]

It was another gorgeous day at the ‘Horn for our final full day of this 2024 Deerhorn summer. The waterfront was a hopping place to be, not only for some great Rave launches and trips down the slide, sandcastles and kayaking, but also for our guided fishing day! We had four guides going out all […]

We could not have cooked up better weather for our final session of the summer of 2024! It was another day of blue skies and sunshine, perfect for every activity except sailing, since there was not much wind all day. But a few brave sailors tried it out anyway! We had sausage and biscuits and […]

We would never pick favorites between sessions, but the dads who come to Father Son 4 will tell you that we saved the best for last. Our final session of the summer of 2024 started today and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. After clouds and chilly temperatures for FS3, today dawned sunny and […]

We had sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit sandwiches for breakfast and meatball subs and tater tots for lunch. There were a […]
