Building Character and Making Memories · Est. 1949
The Virginia Elks Youth Camp (VEYC) offers an affordable, safe, and memorable summer camp experience for Virginia youth. Rooted in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks’ commitment to community and service, our programs focus on character, leadership, outdoor skills, and friendship.
Each season features classic camp activities—archery, bb's, hiking, swimming, tubing, fishing, crafts, campfires, and team sports—led by trained staff and supported by volunteers from Elks Lodges across the Commonwealth.
To build character and confidence in the great outdoors, providing opportunities for every camper to learn, grow, and thrive regardless of background.
