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 4000 children use the camps annually. The camps are Elkhaven on Denman Island, Elkgrove in Aldergrove and Elkness 25 miles northeast of Prince George. All of the camps are provided free of charge to organized children’s groups, are handicapped accessible and available 12 months of the year.
Camp Elkcanoe, a new camp, is now open at Canoe, B.C. near Salmon Arm.  
The camps are supported by generous contributions from Elks and Royal Purple Lodges  through out B.C. and through the sale of the annual Elks Dream Lottery tickets.
The Society's objectives are;
to promote mental, spiritual and physical development for children throughout British Columbia
to continue providing camp facilities not available elsewhere for children and
to maintain those facilities while building new camps.
The Society is a registered charity. Receipts are provided for any donations received. Donations can be mailed to:
