Elks Recreation Children's Camp Society
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
