Deerkill will be the setting for the Official Book Release on Sunday, May 2nd from 12pm-3pm of Still Her Spirit Sings, a new book by Deerkill’s very own Head of Nature and local children’s author Robert W. Kurkela. Hi-Tor Animal Shelter will be on hand with animals for adoption. All ages are welcome and admission is FREE. The book will be released in time for Be Kind To Animals Week (5/2-5/8), National Pet Week (5/2-5/8) and Children’s Book Week (5/10-5/16). A percentage of the profits from the sale of the book will go to help animal causes. Robert will be reading from his book, autographing copies and answering questions.

We’re excited to unveil the newest addition to Deerkill’s lower camp – a brand new climbing structure. We bid adieu to our monkey bars and the old water pump to make room for the new playground, which will feature a dozen climbing elements for all ages. We hope to have it installed early spring so visitors can enjoy it prior to camp.

Thanks to one of our alumni, we have uncovered a group photo from the first year of Deerkill, 1958. Of course, the camp was called Deerkill Park Day Camp back then.
