Camp Deerhorn Trips

Backpack Trip

BACK PACK TRIPS
Our overnight hiking trips are awesome. We travel by van into the nearby Nicolet National Forest and hike into an area loaded with unspoiled lakes and beauteous campsites. On all of our trips, the importance of leave no trace camping is stressed and practiced.

Canoe Trip

CANOE TRIPS
Northern Wisconsin has an abundance of canoeing waters. After passing basic swimming and canoeing requirements, campers may choose to enjoy the thrill and adventure of a canoe trip. The youngest campers will take an overnight trip near camp. Other campers will paddle the Wolf River in Oneida and Langlade counties. Pure northern Wisconsin, the Wolf has a national designation as a Wild and Scenic River. The water is clean and shorelines heavily forested. The boys usually paddle in groups of 12 with six counselors and leaders.

Lake Superior Trip

LAKE SUPERIOR TRIP
Campers may choose to go on the Lake Superior trip, which departs during the three week session. It is a two day trip up to the beautiful Apostle Islands of Lake Superior. Using chartered buses, campers and counselors are transported to Bayfield and take a ferry over to Madeline Island for an afternoon of swimming and beach games. Later, everyone heads back to the mainland for a campout, complete with a campfire under a starry sky. Other stops during the trip include a wildlife park and Copper Falls State Park.

Waterpark Trip

WATER PARK TRIP
Every camper who stays more than one session has the choice of going on an overnight hiking trip, an overnight backpacking trip, or a trip to a local waterpark. The Lodge at Cedar Creek is located in Wausau, is brand new, and completely indoors, so weather is not a factor. Those who choose the trip to the waterpark will be treated to a day of wet and wild fun in their 50,000 square foot facility. Cedar Creek's main attractions are its seven waterslides, activity pools, and The Lazy River, where you can float lazily along on inner tubes. Enjoy the water activities or stay dry and try their arcade with 50 video games.
