The Silver Towers Camp for People with Disabilities is the Chief Charitable Project of the Vermont Elks Association, which has owned and operated Silver Towers since 1958.  It is among the first of its kind in the United States, and still remains one of the very few.

An overnight retreat for those with mental and 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.
