Port Jeff Students Volunteer to Ready Camp Grounds

More than 40 members of the Earl L. Vandermeulen High School Interact Club and Port Jefferson Middle School National Junior Honor Society teamed up with the Port Jefferson Rotary Club to help ready Camp Paquatuck for the winter.

The volunteers came together to rake and bag thousands of leaves and store picnic benches at the Center Moriches camp, which provides special needs children and young adults with camping experiences.

The volunteers plan to return in the spring to mulch flowerbeds, ready cabins and apply fresh paint to the dorm rooms and outer buildings.
