Will Begin in April 2023 We will be looking for 24 deserving boys and girls (ages 9-13) to attend our summer camp. (Cannot be a child or grandchild of an Elk member.) All camper expenses are paid by Lodge #1091 including pre-camp physical and transportation to and from camp. If you know of any boys or girls who you believe would benefit from this experience, please pick up a form by calling or emails us at the Rochester Elks Lodge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bc587f2e7c1f25f6dcac08/2c55471b-2f1d-4243-b9d6-2166afcaee22/Elks+Marshmellow.png Drug Awareness Program - Best Place on Earth The staff and campers like to call it BPOE or the Best Place on Earth. We introduced so many campers to new experiences & made many new friendships along the way. Some went fishing at Markee Lake and pontooning and kayaking on Pelican Lake. We climbed the Rock Wall, swam at the beach (everyday!), built sand castles, hit golf balls on the driving range, performed skits, sang songs, enjoyed a hay ride, went biking, shot at the archery range, and got creative in the arts & crafts room. Most campers will tell you many stories about their adventures at Elks Camp, but their new friendships seem to be everyone’s favorite part. At camp we think this is the most rewarding part of their week, knowing that someone cares. Oh! And the food is amazing, too! Our Staff also enjoys their work at camp. They strive to make camp week a life changing experience for the campers, but what they don’t realize is how life changing it is for them. too. They receive many benefits that would not be available at other jobs. Each summer, the staff receives scholarships sponsored by the Elks. They are an eager and wiling group of young people, passionate about helping others. https://www.rochesterelks.org/gallary daily 0.75 2025-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62bc587f2e7c1f25f6dcac08/0e5daa78-fdcf-45f5-b800-415ee4d740dc/Scholarship+dinner.jpg Gallery We recently had the pleasure of presenting $1000 scholarships to 4 of the 5 graduating seniors who we are supporting this year.
