About Us

A bar area with a message on the glass and jars. — Elks Lodge
A bar area with a message on the glass and jars.

Camden Lodge 2156 has earned a 4.3-star reputation not by accident but by showing up, year after year, for the people of Benton County. Ask anyone who has attended a fundraiser, benefited from a scholarship, or simply walked through the doors on Stigall Street, and they'll tell you the same thing: this lodge means business when it comes to community.

The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, and the Camden chapter carries that legacy forward with a hands-on approach. Members are actively engaged, not just card-carrying. From youth programs to veterans' support to local charitable drives, Lodge 2156 treats service as a standing commitment, not a seasonal gesture.

The lodge also serves as a genuine gathering place, somewhere residents can connect with good people over shared values. Reviewers consistently point to the warmth of the membership and the welcoming atmosphere that greets newcomers. If you are looking for purposeful community involvement paired with real camaraderie, this is the place Camden locals already call home.

What We Offer

Lodge 2156 offers members a full calendar of activities rooted in service and fellowship. Community charitable programs run throughout the year, targeting local needs from food assistance to scholarship funding for area students. Veterans' outreach is a consistent priority, honoring those who served while connecting them with resources and recognition they have earned.

Beyond organized giving, the lodge provides a comfortable social venue where members gather for meetings, events, and everyday fellowship. Elks National Foundation programs bring additional grant funding into the community, amplifying what local members can accomplish on their own. Youth initiatives, holiday events, and civic partnerships round out a membership experience that is as active as you choose to make it.

Membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks also unlocks access to a nationwide network of over 800,000 fellow members and thousands of lodges across the country, making it easy to find community wherever life takes you.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
