The Summer of His Life - An Experience for a Lifetime
Founded in 1907, Camp Androscoggin is located in Wayne, Maine, on a 120-acre, tree-lined campus on the shores of Lake Androscoggin.

Our intentional programming and dedicated, experienced staff work together to help our campers, boys aged 8 to 15, gain independence and self-confidence, learn new skills, develop meaningful friendships, and have lots of fun in the process.
