All kids enjoy going to summer camp and having the chance to participate in the fun activities that happen during a camping session. At Elks Camp Grassick, we strive to provide fun opportunities for our campers to enjoy activities such as crafts, recreational games, archery, BB guns, kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, fishing and plenty of time spent at the waterfront on the beach, or in the water swimming and going for boat rides!
swimmingDuring our 2 week and 3 week therapy camps, campers will have one class a day at waterfront with their cabin, where they will work on general swimming skills and play games. During all of our camp sessions, there will be general swim time in the afternoon where all of the campers can enjoy time sitting on the beach, swimming in the water, and/or going for boat rides on our canoes, kayaks, and paddle boats.

RecreationCabin groups attend rec sessions throughout the day. In one of the rec classes, campers participate in games such as kickball, soccer, flag football, relay races, obstacle courses, basketball and other activities. This provides an opportunity to work on gross motor skills while also practicing good sportsmanship, turn taking, following directions and many other valuable skills. Another rec class offers activities such as archery, BB guns, fishing and pontoon rides.

CraftsCampers attend a craft class each day and are able to take their projects home at the end of their session. Crafts include clay projects, bead work, painting, drawing, tie-dye, and many other fun activities. Crafts time also provides a chance for campers to work and increase their fine motor skills, as well as their listening, following directions, and communication skills in a fun environment.

Pontoon RidesDuring all of our camp sessions, there is an opportunity for boat rides on the pontoon! It is a highlight for all of our campers.
