Camp Barrett
Elks Camp Barrett is a camp designed to help
young people of all backgrounds develop and
grow by affording the opportunity of getting
outdoors for adventure and fun. It is
operated by the Elks Association of
Maryland, Delaware, and the District of
Columbia. Campers are sponsored by local
Elks Lodges and the cost of camp is covered
by that sponsorship.
Who can go to camp?
Any youth between the ages of 9 and 13 from
the Maryland, Delaware, or Washington D.C.
area is eligible. They do not have to be
needy, but should be worthy and deserving or
one who would not otherwise have such an
opportunity for a camping experience.
When is camp?
The camping season is from late June to late
August in one week sessions. There are three
weeks for girls, one week for Special
Olympics, and three weeks for boys. The
campers begin to arrive on Sunday at 1:00 PM
and are on their way home by 10:00 AM on
Saturday.
What is camp like?
While at the Elks Camp Barrett, the campers
are divided into individual groups with
their own cabins. Their activities are under
the supervision of counselors, which assures
more personal care. Some of the activities
are various Sports, Arts & Crafts, Nature
Study, Archery and a closely supervised
Rifle Range, to name a few. Meals are
carefully prepared to be tasty and
nutritious. A nurse is on the property, or
on call at all times.
