Deer Lake Outdoor Center is a place where youth-groups and families can go camping year-round; where children leave their electronics behind and spend their summers swimming, singing, canoeing, getting dirty, and making life-long friends; where anyone can try rock climbing or learn new outdoor skills; where plants and animals thrive contributing to a healthier natural ecosystem, and where anyone can enjoy an afternoon hiking the trails.
