Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck is a special camp for young people with special needs. Its mission is to help children and adults achieve equality, dignity, and maximum independence through a safe and quality program of camping, recreation, and education in a summer-time environment. Throughout the program, campers participate in typical summer camp activities, such as arts and crafts, talent shows, cook-outs, swimming and boating.
“We are looking forward to having new campers attend the camp this season,” said Jean Gilrane, Director, Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck. “These children will definitely enjoy themselves with all the fun-filled activities that the camp has to offer. It will be a summer that they will remember forever.”
The Camp is also looking for contributors interested in sponsoring a child’s experience. For more information, call (631) 878-1070 or visit http://www.camppaquatuck.com.
