 Elks' Statement of Purpose

The Elks of New Jersey are dedicated to the objectives of service as described in our slogan, "helping children with developmental disabilities to help themselves."
 
Elks' Camp Moore’s Mission
 

Tucked away in the hills of the Ramapo Mountains, Elks Camp Moore offers a fun filled vacation away from home for children with special needs. A week at Elks Camp Moore is a remarkable experience not soon to be forgotten. The primary goal of the camp is to further develop the recreational and social skills of each child. In a relaxed and accepting atmosphere, each camper experiences new adventures, lasting friendships, and opportunities that promote independence and greater self-confidence. At camp each child is challenged to try new things or to improve on what they already know. We encourage each child to do as much as they can for themselves and by themselves. The guidance of a friendly and understanding counselor is always near.
