This day each fall is always both the best and the worst for us as Deerhorn directors. On one hand, we’re doling out really exciting news for four of our senior campers. On the other hand, we’re doling out disappointment to many of their peers. We hope that all of the kids who were not asked to be a Leader will return in the summer of 2026 to be Assistant Counselors. Even though we can only choose four Leaders, we hope that the rest of them know there is always a place for them at Deerhorn. And now, introducing our 2026 Deerhorn Leaders!

 

Devlin Shultz hails from Winnetka, Illinois, and is returning to camp for his 7th summer as a Deerhorn camper. He will be leading the 2026 Deerhorn Wolves.

 

 

George Cirulis also is from Winnetka, and is going to be leading the Deerhorn Bears. 2026 will be his 6th as a Deerhorn camper.

 

 

Jack Friedman is leading the 2026 Deerhorn Eagles for his 9th summer as a Deerhorn camper. He is from Wilmette, Illinois.

 

 

Jackson Dulaney is from Hillsboro, Kentucky, and is returning to camp for his 6th as a camper. He will be leading the Deerhorn Bobcats.

 

A big congratulations to all four of our Deerhorn Leaders. We know they will help make the summer of 2026 the best yet for all of our campers!
