Join Our Village and sponsor a child today
At Agassiz Village, we know it takes a Village. By joining "Our Village" you will give a child the opportunity to attend Agassiz Village's life changing summer camp.
Villagers are able to sponsor one child or cabins of children for one summer at Agassiz Village. It costs $1,500 to provide a summer camp experience for one child and we ask that you cover costs for your child(ren) sponsored.
You will change a child's life by:
-
Ensuring they have the social and emotional skills needed to face life's challenges and be all they can be.
-
Supporting their development as a leader in their community.
-
Expanding their world through exposure to nature, sports and recreation, and the arts.
As a thank you, members of Our Village will receive:
-
Bi-annual updates about the impact of your contribution to sponsored children.

Sponsors will be invited to special recognition events where they can engage with children at camp and see the impact of their contribution.
