What is Camp Barrett?Camp Barrett is an Elks' multi-season camp facility nestled in an isolated forest of tall trees and deep ravines surprisingly located just a few minutes from the Annapolis Mall, Historic Annapolis City Dock, and the United States Naval Academy (USNA). Back in the early 50's, with a generous donation of about [140] acres of unspoiled woods, 38 regional Elks Lodges in Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia joined together to build this camp. Today, we all help to maintain this unique camping facility for children and adults to enjoy.
At Camp Barrett, there are Baseball, Football, Soccer, & other Athletic Fields, an Olympic size Swimming Pool - with a full Bathhouse - which includes; Showers, Dressing Room & Lockers, separate Restrooms and a Washer/Dryer Room. There's an outside Scout built Hillside Chapel, a Basketball Court, a Volleyball Court, an Archery Range, a Shooting Range, Zip-line, Horseshoe Pits, Swings, Slides, etc. Surrounding the center of camp are twisting hiking trails to explore through the thick woods while crossing the Scout built bridges over the nearby running stream for a steep climb up "Hamburger Hill" (a 45 degree hill lovingly named by kids of past years). In addition to the main dining hall with its full state-of-the-art kitchen facility, offices & restrooms, there are also; Two Activity Pavilions with many picnic tables, an Arts & Crafts Building, separate Counselors Cabin, several wooded Campsites with Fire-Pits and a Lean-to, as well as group gathering bonfire locations scattered throughout. There's a Grounds-Keeper/Caretakers House stationed at the Camp entry. For Campers housing, there are a series of 6 Bunkhouses along with a First Aid Cabin with an attached Camp Directors' Quarters that are all jointly maintained by the now [38] strong Elks Lodges of the Maryland, Delaware and the District of Columbia Elks Association.
