Agassiz Village

Helping children have Fun, Explore, Collaborate, and Thrive Agassiz Village was founded in 1935 at its present lakeside location in Poland Maine by Mr. & Mrs.

Harry E. Burroughs. Then, as now, Agassiz gave children the opportunity to escape the hardship of their daily lives. Originally the camp served boys who worked as newsboys, bootblacks, or other street vendors. The boys learned basic job skills, practiced school subjects, experienced outdoor living, and developed many life skills. The camp opened its doors to an adaptive program for physically disa

bled campers in the late 1950's, and girls joined the camp in 1973 when it became co-ed. Both changes are still part of the program foundation today, and campers come from all over the Greater Boston area to experience this unique program. Today, Agassiz Village serves nearly 500 children each summer. The camp offers a safe and healthy environment where children’s smiles and laughter create lifelong friendships and provide a lifetime of memories. More importantly, our campers have the opportunity to embark on a life-changing experience. Agassiz Village campers take with them our values of responsibility, self-confidence, service to others and a commitment to learning.

Golf Outing: Part Two was worth the wait!

The rain may have changed our original plans, but it certainly didn’t stop the fun - or our incredible community from showing up for Agassiz Village. We returned to the course on Monday for another wonderful day of golf, connection, and giving back.

Together, our Golf Outing raised an incredible $320,000 to support the children and programs of Agassiz Village!

A heartfelt thank-you to presenting sponsor Loomis Sayles & Company, Eagle Sponsors, Market Axess and RBC Capital Markets, and the amazing Birdie Sponsors who helped make both days possible. Your generosity creates meaningful experiences and lasting opportunities for the young people we serve.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the leadership of our golf committee David Simmons, Warren Burroughs, Mike Lynch, Joe Griffith and Jennifer Simmons.

What an evening on Thompson Lake!

Our Concert on the Lake brought together great music, delicious food, beautiful views, and an incredible community - all in support of the young people served by Agassiz Village.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, our talented performers, generous sponsors, volunteers, and all those who helped make the evening so memorable. Your support helps us continue creating transformative experiences where young people can grow, lead, and prepare for life’s journey.

We’re already looking forward to the next one! 💙

Just like that… another unforgettable summer at Agassiz Village has come to an end. 💙

Three sessions. Hundreds of campers. Countless memories. New friendships, new adventures, new challenges conquered, and a community that came together to create something truly special.

Today, we watched counselors running toward the buses one last time to see campers off - not ready to say goodbye, but everyone is carrying home memories that will last a lifetime. From the very first arrivals filled with excitement to the final hugs, smiles, and tears, this summer reminded us exactly why Agassiz Village has been changing lives for generations.

To our campers: thank you. Thank you for bringing your curiosity, courage, kindness, and laughter. You are the heart of everything we do, and we already can’t wait to welcome you back next summer.

To our incredible seasonal staff, counselors, lifeguards, Village Leads, kitchen staff, volunteers, and year-round team: thank you for showing up every day with energy, compassion, and unwavering dedication. You created a place where young people felt safe, challenged, celebrated, and loved.

To our donors, community partners, and supporters: thank you. Your generosity made every campfire, kayak ride, climbing wall victory, friendship bracelet, and life-changing experience possible. Because of you, hundreds of young people were able to discover their strengths, build confidence, and create memories they’ll carry for the rest of their lives.

While camp may be over for this summer, the impact doesn’t end here. The lessons learned, friendships formed, and confidence built at Agassiz Village will continue long after the buses have left.

From all of us at Agassiz Village… thank you for making Summer 2026 one we’ll never forget. Until next year.

Rain may have changed our plans, but it couldn’t dampen the generosity, commitment, and heart of our AV community.

Despite the weather, supporters traveled from across Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Maine, and beyond to join us for our Golf Outing Luncheon. Together, we celebrated the impact of AV, connected with longtime friends and supporters, and raised an incredible $40,000 to help ensure our campers continue to thrive.

One of the highlights of the afternoon was hearing from two remarkable campers whose journeys embody the mission of AV.

Brandon first came to AV as an 11-year-old camper. Today, at 22, he’s come full circle - serving as a seasonal staff member after beginning his leadership journey as a lifeguard and now as a Village Lead.

Aisha has been part of the AV family since she was 12 years old. Now 16, she flew from Oklahoma - taking two flights - just to spend her summer at AV. That’s the kind of lifelong connection this community creates.

To everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, volunteered, and continues to believe in our mission - thank you. Your unwavering support is what makes stories like these possible.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone back on August 17 for our rescheduled Golf Outing and Dinner.

The rain may have shifted the schedule, but it only strengthened our appreciation for this incredible community.

Our iTHRIVE campers are sharpening their kitchen skills as part of their AV summer! From teamwork to meal preparation, they’re gaining valuable life skills while having fun along the way.

It was such a FUN DAY with our friends at the Maine Celtics, who spent the morning with our campers. Special thanks to Jazz and her team for running drills, playing games and providing every camper with a new Maine Celtics cap!

This is what camp memories are all about! A song, a moment, a celebration of being young. Feeling a little bit nervous - so I put my hands up and the butterflies fly away…
