Children’s Camp


The Elks Recreational Children's Camp Society was founded to provide camping facilities in the Province of British Columbia for children who might not otherwise have an opportunity for a camping or holiday experience.

The camps were originally designed to accommodate groups of children with special needs but due to the demand, they are now open to any organized group of children under the age of 18. Special arrangements can be made for use of Elks Camps by groups of adults with special needs.

Elks Camps are available year round at no charge to user groups. All facilities are accessible to people with handicaps and include dormitories, beds, mattresses, dining rooms, kitchens complete with dishes, utensils and appliances, as well as indoor and outdoor washrooms. Each camp has space for tenting for those wishing to "rough it".

Resident Caretakers are on hand to assist groups and to help make the experience enjoyable for all.

Located within walking distance of the shores of Shuswap Lake just outside of Salmon Arm.  Elkcanoe is adjacent to a large baseball field and Canoe Beach.

 

The camp is situated on two acres with paths surrounding the camp for exploring.  Adjacent to a park and swimming beach but still amid a treed area gives the feeling of camping in the country but still being close to amenities.
