What a weird day of weather! We woke this morning to thunderstorms that lasted until about 10am, raining out our first two guided fishing sessions. Luckily, the rain quit and held off until around 4, allowing us to get most people out to fish who wanted to. It definitely took some problem solving! In fact, […]

The weather today was humid and warm, but it was pretty overcast. We were all glad when the sun decided to make an appearance after lunch and it turned into a beautiful day! Breakfast this morning was Denver scramble and tater tots, and lunch was nacho bar, with beef or chicken and lots of toppings […]

It’s finally here! Welcome to the summer of 2026! We kicked off our summer with our first Father Son camp that started this morning. Dads and sons arrived right at 9am, ready to get the party started! Our weather was warm, in the 80s all day, but cloudy. It sprinkled off and on all afternoon, […]

We are super excited to welcome these new campers into the Deerhorn Family. […]

It is with great sadness that we have to share that one of our beloved Deerhorn Dogs passed away yesterday. What makes me even sadder is that most kids didn’t even know Katniss exists, let alone be able to meet her and play with her. But she was a very special dog, so I want […]

It was the perfect Deerhorn Day for the last full day of the summer of 2025. It was gorgeous, sunny, and warm, with a perfect breeze off the lake. Even though the waterfront was the main attractions, dads and sons also worked hard creating some incredible crafts projects! Today was also our guided fishing day, […]

I’m not sure there’s any photo that better sums up the joy of a day at Deerhorn than a six year-old on the waterslide. It was another warm one at Deerhorn, so the slide was busy all day. Horseback riding was full all day, as was riflery and archery. Lots of kids got some tennis […]

What a perfectly gorgeous day to kick off the first day of our final session of the summer.

We had activities running 9am-11:30am and again from 1:30-4:30pm. Dads […]
