Minnesota Elks Youth Camp

Minnesota Elks Youth Camp is a co-ed camp where campers take part in programs and activities that are planned to provide a fun-filled week and to enhance their love of the outdoors. The camp setting includes about 270 acres of land with a north woods atmosphere that features evergreen trees, fresh air, sunshine, wildlife, and a large sandy beach. Campers receive a well balanced diet through the Summer Food Service Program under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and meals are served family style in an attractive air-conditioned dining hall.

• Ages: 9–13 years old
• Price: The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks pay all necessary camp fees for campers.

Qualified staff members supervise all activities. The camp has its own Health House and first aid equipment, and hospital facilities and a camp-assigned physician are twenty minutes away in Brainerd, Minnesota. The Minnesota Elks Youth Camp is owned and operated by the 25 Elks lodges located throughout Minnesota, and members of local Elks Lodges arrange transportation to and from the camp. Most campers are referred to local Elks Lodges through adults who know the child’s family, and persons knowing young people who otherwise would not have such an opportunity are urged to contact their nearest Minnesota Elks Lodge. The Minnesota Elks Youth Camp does not discriminate against any person because of race, color, sex, national origin, age or disability. Any special medical needs should be noted on the camp physical form.
