Main Camp

In the center of camp is our namesake, Deer Lake. The majority of waterfront activities happen here as well as a special piece of our closing campfires. Included in this general vicinity are the camp office, the main campfire area, the arts and crafts center, and a boathouse and water tower that were part of the original property.
