Elks Sends Children to Copper Cannon


submitted by Louise Landry, Derry Salem Elks This year the Derry-Salem Elks was


able to send 30 local children between the ages of 9 to 13 to Copper Cannon for one week of outdoor living. The Derry-Salem Elks has been sending local children to camp every year for over 20 years. Besides the 30 children attending the camp this week, we were able to sponsor five older children for either a teen week or ranger camp and this year one of the older campers who attended Copper Cannon for a number of years became a councilor in training. Copper Cannon who is the Major State Project the New Hampshire


Elks Association is 128 acres outside of Franconia Notch. The Outdoor Education Center focuses on team building designed to promote unity, communication, and trust.
