Texas Elks Camp provides children with special needs and children in foster care an opportunity to try new things, meet new friends and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Elks will never forget to pay gratitude to our Veterans. We honor our nation and our Flag. In 1907, the Elks designated June 14th to be Flag Day and in 1949, under President Truman, who was himself an Elk, Flag Day became a National Holiday. Canyon Texas Elks are serving our homeless Veterans with the Welcome Home Initiative with Welcome Home Packs to assist homeless Veteran’s transition into housing. We provide services and cooperate with our local Veterans Hospitals with programs including monthly Bingo, cook outs for Holidays, and collaborate with Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts to provide companionship and treats for the residents of our VA. Canyon Elks proudly provide a Veterans Retreat twice a year and encourage veterans to apply. All expenses are paid by the Elks and Veterans can stay at our Children’s Camp in Ottine Texas for fun activities like fishing and fellowship. Download Vet Retreat Application
