Our Philosophy

Deer Hill's purpose is to enhance an individual's appreciation of the natural world, teach the skills of living in the wilderness with minimum impact, promote stewardship of our Earth, and foster a tradition of service to native lands and peoples. We provide a challenging atmosphere in which young people can be integral members of a small community and grow as individuals.

"I fully realized how much I appreciate the Deer Hill philosophy, in a sense. The magic that is interwoven in Deer Hill's curriculum is a subtle, sometimes overlooked nuance, but an unforgettably important one. I cannot describe the magic that is there, or give it a name, but it is some life-enriching magic."
