Van Wert Sponsors Elks Day at Camp Clay
The kids and adults alike certainly took advantage of the gorgeous day on Tuesday, July 15th. Over 315 kids along with parents showed up at the YMCA Camp Clay for the 2025 ELKS DAY AT CAMP CLAY. This free day at Camp Clay was provided to all the youth of the area by Van Wert Lodge No. 1197, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
The participants enjoyed swimming, the splash pad, wall climbing, paddle boats, kayaking, canoeing, the nature trail and especially the aqua park from 12 noon until 4:00 pm. New this year was a water slide.
“We were very pleased with the turn out and happy that the kids came out to enjoy the day. We have done this for the community for many years and look forward to being able to provide this entertainment each year for the kids.” stated Mike Stanley, Lodge Chairman for the event.
Van Wert Lodge looks forward to being able to provide another free day at Camp Clay in 2026.
