Elks Camp Moore
Elks Camp Moore offers a fun filled vacation away from home for children with special needs. A week at Elks Camp Moore is a remarkable experience not soon to be forgotten. The primary goal of the camp is to further develop the recreational and social skills of each child. In a relaxed and accepting atmosphere, each camper experiences new adventures, lasting friendships, and opportunities that promote independence and greater self-confidence.
Elks Camp Moore provides a unique camping experience for individuals with a variety of special needs and disabilities between the ages of 7 and 21 years old. During the summer we will provide over 550 campers a week respite that is fully funded by the New Jersey State Elks Association. The camp provides a high support ratio of 1 staff to 1 camper to ensure that our campers receive the best camp experience possible and everyone involved in the camp program, including staff have the best experience possible. If you’re interested in finding out more about our program stop by our booth and meet some of our staff!
At camp each child is challenged to try new things or to improve on what he already knows. We encourage each child to do as much as he can for himself and by himself. The guidance of a friendly and understanding counselor is always near.
We believe that like all children, children with special needs flourish when provided with new experiences, new friends and activities that will aid them in their general growth. Camp allows these experiences in a new environment. Elks Camp Moore’s primary function is to enable children to use and further develop recreational, social and leisure skills through activities presented in a positive, enjoyable and appropriate manner and in a real life situation.
The camp is composed of over 18 modern buildings, which are air conditioned and wheelchair accessible. Among the buildings stand three modern camper dormitories, a two story dining hall, kitchen, arts and crafts and games room and also a fully equipped infirmary. The camp also contains a large heated pool that is completely wheelchair accessible.
