We provide services for children with special needs that promote:
- higher levels of independence, self esteem, and success
- to ensure that children with special needs are afforded opportunities to be thriving, productive members of society
- to reinforce a belief that having a difference doesn't make a difference
- to demonstrate through our benevolent programs and dedicated support from the members of Texas Elks that Elks Care and Elks Share
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. Campers are encouraged to make their own decisions, become more independent and accept new challenges. Parents often notice dramatic positive changes and improved self-esteem after only one week at camp.
