Birthdays & Tipping

BIRTHDAYS

Many Al-Gon-Quian campers celebrate their birthdays while at Camp. On the camper’s birthday, the camper will be recognized at a meal with the AGQ rendition of “Happy Birthday” and a special cake to share with his or her cabin. Parents are welcome to deliver or have delivered other birthday items to the Camp Office for distribution by your child’s counselor. Please inform us of your child’s birthday prior to the start of the session so we can inform our chef and your child’s counselors!

TIPPING

Camp Al-Gon-Quian and the American Camp Association have asked that parents refrain from tipping staff members in an effort to be fair to all counselors. If you are impressed with a staff member’s work or want to do something as a token of appreciation, tell the Camp Director or Assistant Director how you feel and/or consider a contribution to the Camp Al-Gon-Quian scholarship fund or the camp library.




 

Camp AGQ Land Acknowledgement

It is important for us to acknowledge that our camp is situated on Odawa and Anishinabewaki tribal homelands and that those of us who are not indigenous to the region are guests there. We are committed to developing relationships and collaborating with indigenous peoples in the surrounding areas in order to honor and respect their living legacies. We are grateful for the opportunities that this beautiful region offers our program participants.
