Camp Rotary is owned by the Rotary Club of Fredericton and is operated by Easter Seals New Brunswick. Children who have special needs, physical disabilities, diabetes and cancer have an opportunity of a lifetime attending the camp.    Brandon Liston who is the Easter Seals representative is quoted at a recently held meeting of the Rotary Club of Fredericton saying,” Rotary Camp has provided all of us an opportunity to meet others just like us.  We are a family and I look forward to going every summer.   You put a smile on our faces.”
