Programs
Overnight Camp
Established in
1935, Agassiz Village camp introduced the beauty of the outdoors to
children from the city of Boston. Our program has expanded to
included participants from all over New England, and offers programs for
ages 8-17, with a special Teen Leadership program for our older campers.
Our camp is located on beautiful Thompson Lake in Poland, Maine. Our facilities allow for campers to experience the outdoors,
with 400 acres of outdoor beauty, full of hiking trails, playing
fields, camp sites, a mile of waterfront on a clean, crystal clear
lake, while still having on-site medical care at our new Health Center and wholesome meals served daily in our extraordinary
Dining Hall. For more details on daily activities, the Teen Leadership
Program, 2008 dates, and more, click here for more info

Sports Camp
Through a collaboration with Malden Catholic High School, Sports Camp is
offered to boys, ages 11-15, as a way to began to learn more about a
specific sport and be in the best shape for your upcoming sport season,
as well as introduce new sports to those interested in trying them out.
MC Coaches lead morning sessions, and after lunch, participants are
transported to Wilmington's 180 Fitness and Sports facility, where
athletes learn how to best prepare for their sport, with sport specific
fitness and health routines. For dates, coaches' names, details,

Special Sports Sessions
ICE HOCKEY: Malden Catholic coaches continue
to instill sports values and skills on the ice as well, with a special
week long camp session for Ice Hockey, held at Kasabuski Rink in Saugus.
Sessions are held each day for 2 hours per day, with a session for boys
ages 9-11, and a session for boys ages 12-15. Click here for

will be transported to various sites throughout the week, such as Cedar
Glen and Mt. Hood golf courses and local driving ranges. This
group does not go to the 180 Fitness and Sports complex as other Sports
Camps do, as they spend every sunny day out swinging! For more

Partnerships
Agassiz Village strives to provide a diverse camping experience. One way we achieve this is through our partnership with Easter Seals of Massachusetts. Our work with this agency allows disabled youngsters the chance to enjoy typical summer camp activities side-by-side with able-bodied campers. We are the only camp in New England that provides this
type of inclusive experience.
Malden Catholic High School’s program is sports focused by making full
use of MC’s top-notch athletic fields and coaches.
Week long Sports Camp sessions include ice hockey, golf, lacrosse,
football, baseball, soccer, and basketball. Day Camp offers a fun,
sports-based program that includes recreational sports and games. Both camps encourage leadership, cooperation, sportsmanship, teamwork, and community building.
The DCR has provided Agassiz Village with a fantastic opportunity.
Day Camp at Camp Nihan is an outdoor advemnture, recreation based
program, that allows our campers to get a taste of AV
activities, introducing our mission and programs to children, ages 8-13,
thus encouraging them to not just grow during the summer months, but
consider trying our overnight camp as well.
With Camp Nihan’s beautiful lake and nature trails, the program has a traditional camp atmosphere.
Campers participate in outdoor education and adventure, such as
swimming, fishing, canoeing, sailing, hiking, orienteering, as well as
many traditional day camp activities, such as recreational games and
sports, arts & crafts, and more.
