Long Island’s Longest-Lasting Haunted Walk Offers Thrills and Chills This Fall

Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck’s Spooky Walk returns October 21-22 and 28-29

(CENTER MORICHES, NEW YORK) — Just in time for Halloween, the Moriches Paquatuck Squaws’ 28th Annual Spooky Walk, will take place at Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck on October 21-22 and 28-29 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Horror lurks around every corner during this 45-minute-long fright experience, considered the longest-lasting haunted walk on Long Island. Leading thrill-seekers through four campground buildings and the woods surrounding Kaler’s Pond, this year’s walk is certain be a favorite among the thrill seekers.

Upon completion of the Spooky Walk, guests are invited to enjoy hamburgers, hot dogs, roasted corn, hot pretzels, homemade candy apples and more. In addition, t-shirts, sweatshirts, toys and other Spooky Walk merchandise will be available for purchase.

Admission to the event is $20 per person ($15 per person on October 21), with all of the proceeds benefitting the camp’s mission to provide a safe and fun-filled environment for children and young adults with special needs during their summer and fall respite sessions. Thanks to thousands of participants, donors and guests, this event has raised millions of dollars for the camp since its inception in 1989.

“Calling this event a Spooky Walk may be a bit of an understatement,” says Marcella Weiss, member of the Moriches Paquatuck Squaws and coordinator of the Spooky Walk. “By the time you have encountered the mysterious sights and sounds of our haunted buildings and threaded the treacherous forest path, you may very well be running.”
