I came home from my first summer at Deer Hill Expeditions at 13 and told my parents I'd never felt more like myself than I had that summer.Once I settled into my group of amazing kids from across the country, and hiked 40 miles in a week, and climbed multiple peaks , and rafted the San Juan River, and stayed with a family on the Hopi Reservation, I had changed as person. My world as well as my inner life had been amplified.I returned to Deer Hill for three more summers, each time flourishing physically and in the sensation of being part of something greater than myself. My experiences, and my place in the “Deer Hill Family”, stay with me like a superpower. Is there anything more valuable than that to give your child? I yearn to go back. Deer Hill is a place that heightens your senses and opens a door to a part of your being that you might not have known was there. You'll jones for it, and you'll insist that others try it. Go! Just go!!! You’ll be so glad you did. Forever.

The staff that accompanies the expeditions seems very nice and good. The administrative staff is misleading, self-centered, and may be more interested in gaining the tuition money than in the best interest of the student. This is a very sad thing.

This was the best camp I have ever gone to. The experience was amazing and very unique. The equipment provided was all owned by the camp and all very durable and top-of-the-notch. The staff is very kind and helpful. I appreciate the experience and value the once-in-a-lifetime experience that it provided for me.

Deer Hill was an Amazing experience. Deer Hill is an experience that me and many of my group mates found life changing. My experience at Deer Hill has changed me greatly by showing me that I have the potential to achieve my goals and be a strong leader. Deer Hill helped me come out of comfort zone and let myself have fun . At Deer Hill I was able to connect to people on a level i never thought was possible. I had worried that i wouldn't fit in like my previous summer camps; but at Deer Hill you spend 24/7 with people and they become your family which makes it impossible not to fit in. Deer Hill allowed me to be myself and figure out who I really am. I left Deer Hill with a new found confidence,a want to help others and great friends that i still hold close relationships to. Going to Deer Hill is so far the greatest experience of my life and highly recommend that whoever reads this goes to Deer Hill and figures out how life changing it is for themself.

I have been on three Deer Hill courses, and each one has challenged and inspired me. The leaders are caring, honest, and experienced. I went on the Wilderness Leadership course this year, and my well-balanced leaders set a great example for effective leadership. Basecamp is beautiful and well maintained. Each course has been fun yet physically and emotionally challenging. Rafting in Costa Rica, service on a Navajo Reservation, and backpacking in the Wilderness of Colorado will stand out in my mind as life-changing experiences. Deer Hill has a rich culture that makes it feel like home every time I return. The courses are expensive, but so far, worth the price.

My children LOVE Deer Hill. Rafting, mountain climbing, mountain biking and incredible community service on the Hopi Reservation. They came back better people and both (son and daughter) can't wait to return next year! The staff were fun, compassionate and extremely safe. The base camp is in the beautiful mountains of Colorado and they rafted in Utah. I would recommend Deer Hill to anyone with teenagers who want a truly unique experience.
