Youth Camp

The Minnesota Elks Youth Camp is a co-ed camp for deserving youth of Minnesota, ages nine through thirteen.  Most campers are referred to local Elks Lodges through adults who know the child’s family.  Persons in the St. Cloud area who know people who otherwise would not have such an opportunity are urged to email the St. Cloud Elks Lodge at stcloudelks@gmail.com.  The St. Cloud Elks will arrange transportation to and from the camp and pay all necessary camp fees for the campers.

The camp setting includes about 270 acres of land on Pelican and Markee Lakes.  The north woods atmosphere is prevalent with evergreen trees, fresh air, sunshine, wildlife and a large sandy beach.
