Camp Agawam

★★★★★Chris Rogers

I spent my early teenage summers at Agawam, and truly feel that it was pivotal to my character, and built who I am today. I got to play soccer, try new things like lacrosse, and push my limits on the ropes course. The waterfront was great for taking a boat out, swimming, or a leisurely afternoon of fishing. I still keep in touch with many of the people I met at Agawam, including some that I met during my time on staff, and these friendships have taken me all around the world. The learning that starts at Agawam never ends -- lessons I learned decades ago still get applied in my work every day, and it's helped prepare me to lead diverse teams in my professional life.

I spent 4 wonderful summers at Camp Agawam. I am proud of my fellow campers who were able to Purchase it from Dave and Peg Mason when it was time for them to retire. I am hopeful and grateful that they are continuing to run it like all three of the Masons did. And I am Glad that Peter Mason is still involved with the heirarchy of The AGAWAM Leadership.

Camp is a amazing place boys to spend there summer. I have been to the Main Idea which is a free week of camp for boys from Maine. The food is great along with the staff.

My son has never left home on his own before and he was set on not attending any camps. As I pushed for him to go we were given the opportunity to tour the camp. Very impressive. Big open area with almost every outdoor activity you could imagine. Long story short he attended the week and was the happiest kid at the end. Wouldn't stop talking about all the kids and staff and activities. His face lit up when he found out he may be going back next year. Thank you camp agawam.

Surely it can't be that good, you say. Surely other camps compare? It really is that good. Agawam is one of the last places on Earth where a genuinely good community exists. And it exists for the sole purpose of creating a whole summer world for boys to enjoy themselves, build friendships, and grow. It's owned & run by a bunch of its alumni who all treasure their memories of Agawam so highly that they regularly donate time out of their impressive lives to keep it going since 1919. The camp itself is a cycle, of boys guided and cared for by staff, becoming the next staff members themselves when they become young adults. That guidance and culture drove immense personal growth as a child and forged a path for my adult life for which I will always be deeply thankful. If you've never experienced any of that yourself and it all sounds alien, then it's still hard to argue with easily the best physical property of any camp of its type, some best-in-industry sports programs, nationally accredited safety, the most invested, dedicated staff you'll find anywhere, an immediately welcoming and positive culture, a stellar selection of activities for a boy to learn, outstanding natural setting and location, and an unending effort to improve the camp for decades into the future. If my parents had chosen some other camp, or had not sent me to Agawam, I would never forgive them! Unparalleled in the lives it touches, the Agawam experience is the single best choice a parent can make for their son's summers. My lifelong friends, who were campers with me and whom I still talk to every day, all agree that we will make that same choice when the time comes. If you're a parent, you can make that choice now! 4 summers camper, 5 summers staff
