Agassiz Village is more than an enriching summer opportunity:  Our programs are an investment in the future, to inspire and enable all children, especially those who need our support the most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible leaders.

The faces in our photo gallery describe our campers’ experiences better than words.  You are the reason these children have this opportunity to shine. Learn more about 2009 programs and partnerships so you can be a part of the Agassiz Village family. Make a contribution to Agassiz Village today.

We continue to make our quality programs affordable to all.  Please consider sponsoring a child for this summer, as many families may not have the opportunity to offer this incredible experience this year to their children.  To learn more about sponsorships and the Campership Fund, read here or contact us at lgillis@agassizvillage.org.

Regardless of the financial challenges we will face as families, as an organization, as a nation, kids still need be just that- kids.  To play, feel safe, take risks within reason, make new friends, try new activities, learn and grow from each other, experience the outdoors, be a part of an enriching community- this is how they development, how they stay healthy, how they practice values, how they learn to handle stress…perhaps how they gain the courage, confidence, and strength to be a future president!

Consider giving your child the experience of a lifetime this summer at Agassiz Village.  Consider sponsoring a child if you can.  We encourage our campers to take from their time at camp all the memories, friendships, fun, and lessons that will help them grow to be healthy, happy, successful citizens of the world.  And we encourage them to give back when they can, to help others live and learn to be future leaders as well.

    “This experience has given me

   the  skills and confidence to face

      any challenge that comes my way

         in life.  It has made me proud to be

the person I am today."

  “It makes me appreciate

   that no matter how different

    we may be, we need to work

      together.  This place is like family-

we are there for each other."
