EspañolCAMP AGAWAM
'Camp Agawam' is a traditional boys 7-week summer camp located in Raymond, Maine. Agawam was founded by the Mason family in 1919 and is currently owned and operated by the Agawam Council, a non-profit corporation. Camper ages range from 8 - 15. At 16, boys become "Senior Club", and at 17 a "Junior Counselor". They become a full counselor for their 18 year old summer. Agawam plays host to the Annual Agawam Invitational Tennis Tournament, which is the longest running tennis tournement in New England. It also hosts the Agawam Cup Sailing Series, and the Six-A-Side soccer tournament. Campers also compete in the summer long Ag-Wam competition and participate in a weekly council. It is currently directed by "Chief" Garth Nelson.
The "'Ag-Wam'" competition is a summer-long event at Camp Agawam. The camp is divided into two teams, Ags and Wams. Throughout the year, Ags and Wams compete by age in events such as tennis, baseball, basketball, and soccer. Other events include volleyball, tug of war, scavenger hunts, sailing, track, base relay, swim relay, camping, and the closing event, the Pony Express. The Pony combines all aspects of athletics and knowledge into a giant relay race spanning across the entire camp and further. Events involving the entire camp are worth 5 points, others are worth 3. As of 2007, the Wams have won 43 seasons, while the Ags have managed 36, with one year being a tie. The Wams, a historically better team, are on a run of sorts, having won two of the past three seasons.
