The 2025 Deerhorn Leaders
Today is always our most favorite day and our least favorite day. We get to announce the 4 Leaders for the upcoming summer, but we also have to send emails to all the incredible kids who weren’t chosen. We’re a little later than usual on the announcement this year. Half of our directors live in […]

The 2023 Deerhorn Leaders
Every year, we count ourselves incredibly lucky to get to work with some of the most incredible teenagers. For most of our 15 year olds, it’s their last year as a camper, so the end of their session is always bittersweet. Some of our 15 year olds spend five weeks with us doing the Voyager […]
