JOIN OUR VILLAGE
At Agassiz Village, it takes a Village to support the hundreds of children that attend our camp each summer. By joining our village you will give a child the opportunity to attend Agassiz's life-changing summer camp.
Villagers are able to sponsor one child or an entire cabin of children during the summer at Agassiz Village. It costs $1,600 to provide a one-week summer camp experience for one child and $3,200 for a full two weeks.
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:
-
An end-of-summer update about the camper(s) your contribution helped sponsor.
-
Name recognition in Agassiz Village's Annual Report.
