Elks Recreation Children's Camp Society

Elks Recreation Children's Camp Society's purpose is to provide camping facilities for underprivileged, handicapped and special needs children as well as other groups of children who would not otherwise be able to attend a camp. Children need and should have the opportunity to participate in social interactive activity in an atmosphere that will provide each individual child a chance to expand their horizons.

Currently there are three camps in operation and an average of about 3000 children use the camps annually. The camps are Elkhaven on Denman Island, Elkgrove in Aldergrove and Elkcanoe in Salmon Arm. All of the camps are provided free of charge to organized children’s and youth groups, are accessible and available 12 months of the year.

The camps are supported by generous contributions from Elks Lodges throughout B.C.

The Society's objectives are; 

to promote mental, spiritual and physical development for children and youth throughout British Columbia
to continue providing camp facilities not available elsewhere for children and to maintain those facilities while building new camps.
