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.
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.
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.
