Thank you Don Bletz for the photos!

The Silver Towers Camp for Exceptional People is the chief charitable project of the Vermont Elks Association, which has owned and operated Silver Towers since 1958. The Vermont Elks Association is made up of 13 subordinate Lodges and more than 8000 members.

Silver Towers was one of the first of its kind in the United States, and still remains one of the very few. An overnight retreat for those with mental or physical challenges, the camp demands more focused attention than others, and thus has a high ratio of counselors to campers to accommodate the special needs of the campers.

Silver Towers Camp is an extraordinary one or two-week residential camp for exceptional people ages six to seventy who are physically and mentally challenged.

Situated on 26 acres in beautiful Ripton, Vermont, and surrounded by the scenic Green Mountain National Forest, Silver Towers gives campers the social skills and personal enrichment they seek - not to mention a world of adventures.

There's swimming, horseback riding, arts and crafts, singalongs, campfire activities, dancing, music, bowling, field sports, hiking, nature studies... and more.

Our campers return home happy and confident. Our families are very pleased.
