Building for the Future
Two years ago, we started a Capital Improvement Fund for Camp Deerhorn. Due to generous donations, we are currently expanding showers and updating plumbing in the Upper Bathhouse. We installed 3 new tennis courts in 2016. We have started saving for a storm shelter, roof for rainy days, Skeeter resurfacing, new slide, and an expanded […]

You’re Never Too Old
One of my favorite pictures to take at camp is dads (and grandpas) going down the slide. I love the look of surprise and delight on their faces as they take that first trip down, but I also love the fact that they are even willing to do it at all. As adults, we often […]
