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.
