Loving the Deerhorn Life
Everyone is settling into camp, learning the routines, and having so much fun in activities. After a breakfast of scrambled eggs & toast, kids had a meeting to find out what activity group they are in. For those of you who aren’t familiar with our routine, kids are put into activity groups by age. Their […]
Old Friends & New Faces
Our first regular session, “A”, started this morning. We had 22 kids stay over from our 2nd Father Son camp, and they spent yesterday afternoon at the Waters of Minocqua waterpark. Everyone had an absolute blast and all the kids adapted quite quickly to life at camp without dad. We ended our Father Son camp […]

Sunshine & Fishing
Today was the most beautiful day at camp…sunshine and blue skies, sparkling water and amazing breezes to keep away the mosquitoes. Yes, it was definitely on the chilly side, starting out this morning at 48 degrees, but by this afternoon temperatures had warmed into the 70’s. And the cooler weather didn’t keep dads and sons […]
