(Center Moriches, NY) — Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck announced that it is opening its doors again for the spring weekend respite program, transforming the 60-plus-year-old camp into a year-round destination for children with disabilities.

Children up to the age of 21 arrive on Friday evening and leave on Sunday afternoon. There is a new theme each weekend. Children can participate in various activities, including baking, arts and crafts, games, and watching movies.

The weekends available are as follows: April 9-11, 2010; May 14-16, 2010 and June 11-13, 2010. The cost of each weekend (Friday to Sunday) is $350. The camp requires a $50 deposit per session which is non-refundable unless registration is cancelled 30 days prior to the session.

Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck was created by members of the Moriches Rotary Club in 1946. Located on the shores of Kaler's Pond on eastern Long Island, Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck is funded entirely by donations and is a special place where children with physical and developmental disabilities can experience first hand the pleasures that an active life has to offer.

The program also provides educational activities in areas such as nature, arts, fire safety and communication skills.
