Hey, Camp Fans!

You know what’s always a treat for us is when we get to talk up the excellent summer camps with whom we’ve developed solid relationships. We work with more than 250, so we post about them fairly frequently. We call them our Summer Camp Spotlight Blog posts and today, we’re fixing our spotlight on Camp Lake Hubert for girls—sister camp to Camp Lincoln in the Lake Edward Township of Minnesota.Located on beautiful land occupying the south side of Lake Hubert, these campgrounds boast a clear, spring-fed lake with a soft, sandy bottom and gradual slope. Providing more than 120 acres and a second small lake on its south border (Bass Lake), the setting at Lake Hubert for girls sets the perfect tone for a wonderful summer camp experience.

Your camper is sure to be engrossed in a number of all the available activities from options like Archery, Baseball/Softball, Crafts, Dance, Drama, Golf, Guitar, Gymnastics, Lacrosse, Martial Arts, Biking, Horse Riding, Radio, Riflery, Soccer, Tennis, Rock Climbing, High and Low Ropes Course, Day and Overnight Trips, Fishing, Kayaking, Sailing, along with a whole lot more!

Give your daughter the gift of summer camp—the gift that keeps in giving as it instills confidence in its campers and teaches them how they fit as an individual into a healthy community of camp-minded folks as well as how they fit into the natural world.

You and your daughter can choose from a two, three, four, or eight-week camp stay. All summer sessions at Camp Lake Hubert are designed to introduce your daughter to a subtle maturation, but they encourage kids to opt for the longest session-length they feel they can handle as the benefits and overall impact multiply exponentially the longer you stay.

If Lake Hubert seems like a good place for your daughter, be sure to check out their website for yourself and, as always, thanks for reading.

Hey, Camp Enthusiasts!

Here at Everything Summer Camp, we’re proud to say we work closely with about 250 summer camps from all across the country! And so we’re eager to share with our customers and Blog followers what fantastic summer camps they are! This week we’re focusing our summer camp spotlight on the beautiful land of Fleur de Lis Camp for girls, in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire.

Fleur de Lis Camp is situated on the shores of Laurel Lake in the same, beautiful Monadnock Region of New Hampshire where it was first founded almost 88 years ago in 1929. A quiet camp, this peaceful setting away from home encourages Fleur de Lis campers to tap into a more authentic version of their personality.

Quiet and peaceful doesn’t mean the days are dull! Far from! Campers stay busy with lots of activities to choose from like Free & Instructional Swim, Ceramics, Riflery, Archery, Canoeing, Sailing, Knitting, Kayaking, Diving, Hiking, Horseback Riding Day Trips, Special Events, Tennis, Field Sports (Soccer, LaCrosse, etc.), Arts & Crafts, Drawing, Sewing, Row-Boating, Dance, Games, Lifeguard Certification, Water Skiing, Nature, Theatre, Photo Journalism, and lots more!

The campers sleep in platform tents or cabins with bathrooms and electricity. They are assigned to different tents or cabins based on how old they are. With a cabin leader to camper ratio of 1:4, Fleur de Lis boasts an excellent system of supervision.

Set your sights on Fleur de Lis summer camp next summer! It’s a safe, supportive place for your daughter to take her first few steps toward self-discovery as well as, of course, the enjoyment of her summer days away from home. Does Fleur de Lis camp sound like it’s possibly the camp for your daughter? Check it out right here and, as always, thanks for reading!

Hey, Camp Folks!

We’re always thrilled here at Everything Summer Camp to work closely with somewhere around 250 summer camps from all across the country. And for that reason, we like to express just what wonderful camps they all are! Get ready now as we swing our spotlight to the beautiful and woodsy Wisconsin to take a look at a camp with whom we’ve worked for a very long time.

In fact, this camp was one of the earliest to work with yours truly. Carved out of the gorgeous wilderness of northern Wisconsin, Camp Deerhorn is situated on 100 acres of heavily wooded campground that provides its campers with a million opportunities to explore fun places and activities.

Get your fill of all the fun activities they offer like Archery, Basketball, Baseball , Soccer, Tennis, Ice Hockey, Football, Lacrosse, Ultimate Frisbee, Golf, Horseback Riding, Mountain Biking, Riflery, Canoeing, Sailing, Swimming, Arts & Crafts, and Quidditch (be sure to bring your broom).

Explore the attractive facilities around the campgrounds as well. The waterfront was the selling factor for the site they chose when Deerhorn was first born back in the 30’s. They built the Camp Deerhorn Lodge—built from the giant Norway pines that were chopped down and cut by hand. It gives off a woody and warm atmosphere with lofty rafters and a huge stone fireplace. Inside is the main recreational area, the camp’s kitchen, as well as two large dining rooms.

At Camp Deerhorn, they don’t call cabins ‘cabins’—they call them ‘koogees’. Facing North Pelican Lake, each and every one of them is surrounded by beautiful birch, oak, and pine trees. These sleeping quarters are designed to stay dry at all times with screened windows and awnings that operate from the outside. The bunk beds are all made from trees on Deerhorn grounds. They bring a great sense of charm and comfort to the campers and their cabin leaders.

Check out Camp Deerhorn’s website right here if it looks like a good match for your kid and get a taste of Deerhorn with their aerial tour below! As always, thanks for reading, Camp Fans!
