MISSION & VISION
"I really do love Agassiz Village. It feels like a second home where I can truly be myself. It’s a place where I can escape the everyday routine and immerse myself in new adventures and friendships. The supportive and vibrant atmosphere at camp helps me feel valued and understood, and it’s where I’ve discovered new passions and strengths. The connections I make with others and the sense of community I experience there fill me with a joy that’s both deep and lasting. Summer camp is where I find a special kind of freedom and happiness that makes me look forward to each new season with excitement and gratitude."
