The first-ever Deerkill Day Camp Video Yearbook Premiere was a rousing success! Nearly 300 campers and their families from Rockland, Bergen, Hoboken, Manhattan, Orange and Montclair attended the can’t-miss event which took place at the Palisades Mall AMC Loews theater on Sunday December 12th. Greeted with large Oscar statues, a red carpet and even some paparazzi, all the VIP attendees were treated like Hollywood royalty. The yearbook was preceded by a fun movie trailer and some fun Deerkill trivia of summers past. Everyone left with a smile on their face along with their very own Oscar statue for playing Supporting Roles in the movie event of 2010.

Our annual can’t miss event of Rockland County, the Deerkill Family Fall Fest, once again lived up to its reputation. More than 750 campers, parents and friends walked away with 450 pumpkins, 600 doughnuts and countless happy memories. The big hit at this year’s Fall Fest was the Kiddiepillar, the 50-foot long inflatable caterpillar for kids – even adults enjoyed it. Congratulations to Harrison G for winning the candy corn guess and a $50 Amazon gift card. His guess was only 6 off the actual total of 372! We’ve posted photos from the event on our website at the following link: http://www.deerkilldaycamp.com/deerkill-families/photo-gallery/.

* Mini-Golf Course – We recently renovated our mini-golf course, framing it with railroad ties, repainting each hole, and adding mulch and stepping stones. We’re also planning on adding a new surprise obstacle next spring!
* Path Repaving and Court Resurfacing – As soon as the weather permits this spring, we’ll be repaving our parking lots, hockey field, handball courts, lower dodge ball court and walking paths around camp. We also plan on completing the resurfacing and painting of all of our basketball and volleyball courts as well as our upper hockey field. We can’t wait to see our campers show their skills on the snazzy new courts.
* Hockey Field Group Signs – We just received our new permanent group signs to be posted on the hockey field for morning and afternoon assembly. Each camper will feel especially proud as they run to their groups each day.
* Nurse’s Station – Our Nurse’s Station is currently undergoing a renovation that will include new flooring, new furniture and a fresh coat of paint. Campers with boo-boos or bellyaches will be treated in luxury next year.

On Sunday December 12th, film history will be made as Deerkill debuts its annual yearbook video in the AMC Loews Palisades Center theater from 11 AM to 1 PM. We’ve come a long way from the old Betamax and VHS tapes that were mailed out to our camper families three decades ago. Excitement is building among our campers as they prepare for the Premiere – the word on the street is that we have the most sought after tickets in town. There has been no confirmation of the rumor that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will be attending. For those camper families who haven’t RSVP’d, remember seating is limited. Please make your reservations by Wednesday November 24th.
