90th Anniversary T-shirt!
Our 90th anniversary is coming up in August 2025, and we could not be more excited to celebrate this milestone with our many friends and supporters—and most especially, our current and former campers!
Memories of Agassiz Village are precious to the thousands of underserved children who have passed through the camp over the last 90 years. Here, on the shore of beautiful Thompson Lake, children who have been homeless, in the foster care system, or from broken homes from across New England have had the opportunity to relax, reflect, and enjoy the stunning Maine landscape.
Your 90th Anniversary T-shirt purchase will help support the mission of Agassiz Village by funding scholarships for campers.
Being here is not everyday life for underserved kids – it is a gift. Our 330-acre overnight camp in Poland, Maine, has provided a unique learning program that challenges kids to discover interests, uncover new skills, make lifetime friendships, and connect with inspiring mentors. The skills kids learn at camp and through our year-round THRIVE high school program, help them excel in school, college, and beyond.
