Eddie Lee Wilkins Youth Summer Program has served four generations of families, and has proven to be the blank canvas the community needs for our youth to paint their own story, create memories of a lifetime, and define the colors of their true selves.
ELW Youth Summer Program is a member of the American Camp Association (ACA).

Parent Meeting is the best way to help secure their spot and ensure a smooth camp experience.
During this session, we will discuss camp rules, policies, and key details, plus a Q&A to address your concerns. Check in at registration upon arrival. Children are welcome to attend with their parents.
