  Our
campers come from diverse backgrounds –urban, suburban, and
rural. And they come from all over the U.S. and abroad. Many are
sports-oriented and look forward to a summer of improving skills
and enjoying the competition among friends and rival camps.
The Androscoggin experience is designed to be equally
rewarding and challenging to campers who are interested in individual
activities. Our program encourages and helps maintains a diversity
of interests among campers. That diversity enhances the overall
camping experience for every boy.
But what is Camp Androscoggin really about? Why does this camp
inspire such strong feelings and treasured memories? It's more than
the setting. It's more than the program and the facilities. It's
the Andro Spirit.
Rich Edwards, who was a camper and a counselor, as were both his
sons, tried to describe it when he was interviewed by a respected
guide book to camps. He said, in part: "The Andro spirit is
something special and unique...it's helping, caring, giving, sharing,
learning, teaching, having fun...something wonderful to experience
but hard to describe."
 Brian
Stern, as a young camper, said simply: "Every summer keeps
getting better and better." His father and grandfather agree.
They, too, enjoyed their summers and Camp Androscoggin, as did Brian's
great-grandfather.
The experiences of the Stern family and the Edwards family are
not unusual. Many boys are second, third or even fourth generation
campers. Others begin their own tradition, returning year after
year. All of them welcome new campers who, within a few days, will
feel that they are also part of the Camp Androscoggin family. Why?
Our video will give you more insights into the Andro spirit.
We hope you will want to learn even more about us and become part
of the Androscoggin tradition.
For on-going information about all that is part of summers at Androscoggin,
keep visiting our website. This is a meeting place that is open
year round, with news and views that link campers, past, present
and soon-to-be.
For your son, let's make plans together
for the summer of his life.
