Agassiz Village has a special place in my heart, and my experiences with Agassiz Village have made a lasting impact on who I am as a person, as well as significantly shaped my life. I attended Agassiz Village from 1982-1988, starting at the age of 15, as a CIT (Counselor-In-Training), Junior Counselor, Counselor, Assistant Waterfront Director, and Director of the CIT Program. I developed so many personal and leadership skills during some of the most formative years of my life, and I made life-long friendships at Agassiz Village. Agassiz Village was way ahead of its time with understanding and embracing the values and importance of diversity, equity and inclusion. Agassiz Village is a very unique experience, where respect and dignity for all is embedded at all levels of programming and within the organization. Agassiz Village changes lives, and some of my friends have said that their time and experiences at Agassiz Village actually saved their lives. It is an honor and a privilege for me to be connected to an organization which embodies the values that I strive to incorporate into my life every day.

The memories of Agassiz Village for me will forever be a nostalgic joyride. The year was 1980 when a young 6 year old got on one of those buses to journey to the one place that would eventually become my home away from home. With every passing year the familiarity became normal but the adventures got more exciting because of the different activities, the exciting interactions I'd be apart of and amazing relationships I would make session after session. When I joined the staff it all started as a member of the AV working corps. From there I became a JR. Counselor and then a regular counselor. I got to be in the famous Indian section under Chief PC. It was there where I would have my best relationships with people like Giggles, Granola, Gummibear, Squiggly, Grover, Exec, Flex, Peanut, Sluggo, Flex, Tigger, Diamond, Mac, Mr. Welch, Eunice (the best damn camp chef EVER), Kevin, Chief Cat, Chief Cookie, Chief Chattabox, Chief Go-Go and so many more. To think that this wonderful place is 90 years strong is AWESOME. A part of me was raised here, I went from Boy To Man learning all about diversity all the while being amongst people amongst different backgrounds, ethnicities and colors..So Agassiz THANK YOU for allowing me to be apart of this history. Where else can you learn about nature, be able to express yourself through rhythm, poetry, dance, through song and through drama. Play basketball, soccer, tennis, hockey and of course tetherball (Still the reigning champ lol), swimming and more, Only one place THE GREATEST CAMP ON EARTH AGASSIZ VILLAGE.
Words simply cannot describe this moment BUT I must end this love letter by saying "We welcome you to Agassiz, We're mighty glad you're here.We welcome you to Agassiz we'll say it with a mighty cheer. We'll sing you in, We'll sing you out FOR YOU we'll raise a mighty shout, Hail hail the gangs all here we welcome you to Agassiz ALUMNI.
