Summer Everyone
Our Program In a structured and compassionate environment, the children engage in a number of activities designed to broaden their horizons. They are encouraged to become more independent and to form lasting friendships with their fellow campers. The camp’s activities include: • Swimming in a heated in-ground pool equipped with a wheelchair ramp • Nature walks • Animal petting at the camp’s animal farm • Campfires and songfests • Boating and fishing at Kaler’s Pond • Sports activities • Field trips • Horticulture • Talent shows • ...and much more! Camp A Camp For Children with Special Needs Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck, the Moriches Rotary Health Camp, has been changing the dreams of children with special needs into reality. Established in 1946, the camp has invited thousands of youngsters to enjoy a session of summer fun at its 37-acre site on the shores of Kaler’s Pond in Center Moriches, Long Island. At Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck, the campers enjoy boating, fishing, petting zoo, campfires and more. In a supportive, enriching environment, they are encouraged to reach beyond the limits of their disabilities and join fellow campers in activities designed to enhance their lives.

FPO The camp’s counselors are selected for their ability to establish a trusting and caring relationship with the campers. These young men and women, from the U.S. and abroad, live with the campers, providing a foundation of support and encouragement. When needed, counselors may be assigned to work “one-on-one” with the campers. The counselors are assisted by volunteers from the community who devote their time and energy to the needs of the campers. These selfless people help to enhance and enrich the lives of the youngsters at Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck. If you’re interested in being part of the camp’s volunteer staff, give us a call! Our Funding FPO Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck is a private, nonprofit organization which receives no government aid. No child is turned away because of an inability to pay. We depend on the generosity of organizations and individuals to support the programs of the camp. Of course, all contributions are tax deductible. Most importantly, any donation, large or small, will help the camp continue to offer children a summer they will never forget. Our Year-Round Weekend Respite Program We offer weekend respite programs throughout the year when summer camp is not in session. For one weekend a month in the fall, winter and spring, campers can enjoy the camp and reunite with their summer friends.
