What is Deer Hill?

Picture a perfect small camp in a beautiful location, where only 100 campers attend each summer and everyone gets to sit down to a home-cooked dinner with the owners. Now add a world-class, in-depth outdoor program in real wilderness locations across the West. Now add a pioneering cross-cultural service program. Now add 27 years of history. This is a place where the whole community is invested in your fun, learning, safety and growth. That is Deer Hill.

Deer Hill provides young people with life-changing outdoor adventures and community service opportunities with native peoples. Find out about our summer programs, custom group trips, and our Foundation, or read our blog, by clicking on the links above.

“Thank you and your family for an AMAZING experience last summer. I constantly think back on all the memories and how truly grateful I am for the whole experience. You run a wonderful program, and it is such a great thing for young people. I encourage all my friends to give it a shot because it really is such a good thing emotionally, physically and mentally. I cannot wait to return this summer. I can’t wait to learn so many new things and meet new and amazing people as I did last summer. I am grateful for everything Deer Hill has taught me and I will carry it with me for my entire life. Much love to you and your family and everyone at Deer Hill!” Marisa, Pelham, NY
