Local Lodge Sessions

CORONA VIRUS UPDATE:  4/8/2020 4:00pm CT: After many hours of discussions with the camp board, recruiters, the staff, our state president and the MN health department and insurance carrier-the Camp Board regretfully announces that the Youth Camp will be closed to all camping sessions, events etc this year. 

Thanks for your understanding. The safety of the kids and staff are of primary importance.

The Minnesota Elks Association has 24 local lodges throughout Minnesota each serving their local community. Each local lodge has a one week session assigned every year during which they can send kids from their surrounding area to the Elks camp. There is no requirement to be affiliated with the Elks for these sessions. Persons knowing young people who otherwise would not have such an opportunity to attend a camp are urged to contact their nearest Minnesota Elks Lodge. If you are unsure which lodge serves your community you can find the nearest lodge by looking at our Local Lodge Map.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks pay all necessary camp fees for campers. Members of your local Elks Lodge arrange transportation to and from the camp.
