The History of AGQ

Ann Arborite Herb Twining founded Camp Al-Gon-Quian in 1925 as a private residential camp for boys. Herb had early aspirations to be a doctor, but an injury to his eye prevented him from following that pursuit. Herb decided to focus his efforts on starting a camp—an occupation he found that could have a just as positive of an effect on peoples’ lives. Along with establishing Al-Gon-Quian as a premier residential camp, Twining was at the forefront of the camping movement: He was the first president of the American Camping Association. The Twinings ran camp until 1968, when it was sold to the Ann Arbor YMCA. Girls were welcomed to Al-Gon-Quian for the first time in 1969.

Today, Camp Al-Gon-Quian (fondly known as AGQ) offers a traditional overnight camp experience for all genders, ages 8-16. Campers bunk in semi-rustic cabins with role model counselors who facilitate a transformative camp experience focused on youth development principles. Whether it is for our four-day Mini Camp or for multiple sessions, we hope each camper returns home with some of the best memories possible, increased confidence and self-esteem, an appreciation for the out-of-doors and a summer experience unlike any other. If you have questions about our camp, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to meeting your camper on the shores of Burt Lake!
