The Rotary Clubs of District 7255 have long been dedicated to helping those with special needs. Through their tireless efforts, they established Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck, a 37-acre site on the shores of Kaler's Pond in Center Moriches, which has been providing a safe and fun environment for individuals with disabilities for more than 70 years. Campers are given the opportunity to participate in activities such as boating, arts and crafts, music, adaptive sports, swimming, campfires and more. Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck is a testament to the dedication of the Rotary Clubs of District 7255 and the Pa-Qua-Tuck Squaws who have worked tirelessly to make this camp possible.
