 The ratio
of staff to campers permits the planning and personal attention
that is so much a part of the Androscoggin tradition. That attention
begins the moment every boy steps off of the bus and gets a warm
welcome from his counselor, his group leader and from the camp directors.
 For every
new camper the welcome and excitement begins when his Androscoggin
Big Brother contacts him long before the first day of camp. That
same older boy is also part of the welcoming committee when the
younger boy arrives at camp, walking with him to the dining hall
and giving him a tour of the camp right after dinner.
The warm, caring, individualized support system never stops. Peter
and Roberta meet daily with the senior staff to review what happened
that day, what is planned for the next day, and especially, how
each boy is faring. Each boy, every day. That’s part
of the Androscoggin plan.
 So is the
size of the camp. Androscoggin is large enough to offer a full program
of team and group activities in every age group. Yet, it is small
enough so that every boy in camp gets to know every other boy.
The size also enables Peter, Roberta and the counselors to truly
get know and interact with each camper and to be aware of how every
boy is doing. And, it’s all so natural, relaxed and fun. That’s
part of the plan too
