All campers live in one area of the camp in cabins arranged in a semicircle overlooking the lake. Every cabin is a sturdy, well-maintained structure with electricity and toilet facilities. Boys of every age enjoy meeting at the ping-pong tables and tetherball courts interspersed between the cabins.

Six boys and at least one counselor live in each cabin. The 8- and 9-year-old boys always have two counselors. When making cabin arrangements, we always mix old and new campers, as well as boys from different parts of the country.

At mealtime, everyone eats at one seating in our Dining Hall, which features large, round tables. Each week, the boys sit at a different table with campers from other age groups, providing another opportunity for the boys to meet and get to know one another. The boys also eat with their bunkmates at our twice-weekly cookouts and every Sunday when campers enjoy our popular buffets.

The grouping of the cabins and the thoughtful mix of boys in each bunk and at the tables in the dining hall encourage the camaraderie and friendship that are so much a part of summers at Androscoggin.
