The Camp Directors
Peter & Roberta Hirsch
The Hirsch family has operated Camp Androscoggin since 1964, when Stanley and Barbara began the family tradition. Their son, Peter, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and Georgetown Law School, became a director in 1984 after spending 15 years as a camper and counselor.
Peter is joined by his wife, Roberta, formerly an early-grades teacher with a master's degree in education from Teachers College of Columbia University.
Our Staff
Proven experts & mentors
Androscoggin is known for its staff, which includes close to 100 people with proven expertise, maturity, and a natural ability to be mentors and role models.
Carefully selected through an extensive interview process, our counselors begin each summer with comprehensive training, including a week of orientation before the campers arrive.
Every counselor has completed at least one year of college or a gap year and is a specialist in one activity or sport. The camp has no general, junior, or counselor-in-training positions. We also have a rotating group of physicians and four registered nurses on-site each summer.
Leadership Team
The staff includes a team of a dozen educators who have been at Androscoggin for five, ten, or even twenty years or more. These group leaders and department heads provide the experience, support, and continuity that are hallmarks of the Androscoggin tradition.
