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.
