Where Caring is a Tradition

The moment you arrive at Camp, you can’t help but feel the rich history and tradition of Weequahic. From the songs in the dining hall that our campers sing, to the Olympic plaques from years past in the rec hall you know that you are part of something long-standing and very special.

Weequahic was founded in 1953 by Art and Mollie Lustig and has been under the directorship of the same family for more than five decades. The ideal with which camp was started – to provide the best in camping –still holds true today, almost 60 years after our first campers spent their summer with us in Lakewood, Pennsylvania.

Weequahic is far more than the facilities and scenic beauty of over 100 acres located in Wayne County, although these are certainly part of what has made Weequahic so special. It’s the people and their relationships that make Weequahic what it is. Our campers learn new activities every year, but what draws them back is our warm, caring environment… an environment in which friendships are encouraged and where self-sufficiency and tolerance in learning to live with others is taught.

Our motto which we have maintained for almost 60 years and continues to this day remains:
"Where Caring is a Tradition."
