(Center Moriches, New York) — Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck is currently seeking donations of items that are needed as the camp prepares for the start of its summer season. These items will help make this summer a memorable one for the campers and alleviate the camp’s financial burden of providing these supplies. Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck is looking for individuals and organizations to donate the following items:

● 4 Wii sets and accessories

● 100 bath towels
● One small and two medium/large shower chairs (PVC with cushions)

Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck is also seeking a donation of a gently used small tractor with a bobcat attached to it. Sponsorship opportunities are also available which will provide central air conditioning units in the camp’s dormitories.

“The economy has placed a significant strain on our budget which affects our ability to purchase these needed items,” said Bridget Costello, Director, Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck. “We are asking the public to consider donating these items so that we can make this summer a truly unforgettable experience for hundreds of campers with special needs.”
