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.

Every year our campers and counselors arrive at camp curious to see what that year’s t-shirt design and color will be. For the first time in our long history, we’ve decided to open up our t-shirt design to our campers’ suggestions. Our 2011 t-shirt design will be selected from among entries received from campers by February 28, 2011. The winner and prize will be announced shortly thereafter and the winning design will be worn by all of our counselors and campers in 2011. The design must include:
We’ve included our recent designs from 2009 and 2010 below as a reference. Good luck!

What a wonderful day! We hope all of the attendees had as much as fun as we did at Deerkill’s 4th Annual Family Fall Fest. It was truly a pleasure to see so many of our campers and their friends with such huge smiles on their faces. Yes, Mother Nature did her part and the apples were especially tasty this year, but what makes the Fall Fest so special for us is being able to revisit our summer, if only for a few hours. For one day at least, the playgrounds were full, the moonwalk was being bounced on and everywhere we looked there were kids enjoying themselves. Thank you to all those who attended and for making sure we didn’t end up with too many leftover pumpkins! We also want to thank everyone who contributed a non-perishable food item for the Community Action Program of Rockland’s food bank – we donated two full large pumpkin boxes of food. See you next year at our 5th Annual Deerkill Family Fall Fest!
Lots of pumpkins waiting for guests to arrive and take them home
