Camp Androscoggin is the summer home for 250 boys between ages 8 and 15 and 100 staff. For over a century, campers and counselors have been playing sports, participating in a host of individual activities, forming life-long friendships and sharing summers to remember on our 120-acre lakeside campus.
In addition to being an activity specialist, each counselor has responsibility for a bunk with 5 or 6 boys. Our male staff live in the cabin with the boys, and our female staff are assigned to help supervise a bunk. The bunk is a camper’s home away from home for his 7 weeks at Androscoggin, and the rapport a camper develops with his bunk counselors is one of the key ingredients in the success of everyone’s summer. The role is a combination of teacher, confidant, disciplinarian, and friend, and we are seeking individuals who are patient, caring and enthusiastic.
Days are divided between bunk responsibilities, shooting and teaching. The schedules are built so counselors have a chance to work with kids in other areas as well. Our staff goes on day and overnight trips with their campers. Staff can use the camp facilities during time off.
2026 dates are June 19th to August 14th. Pay starts at $3,000, travel and room & board are included.
The Media Center
The Media Center is made up of animation, radio, video and digital photography. As a part of the arts program, we work with the Art Center and the Playhouse to provide well rounded and varied activities for our campers.
Radio works is both our short wave radio station and individual projects such as podcasts.
The animation program is an opportunity for campers to learn about and create their own cartoons. Our equipment is based in traditional, analog methods, such as paper flipbooks and a stop motion/claymation stage, letting campers create small projects or, if they elect to, more ambitious short films over the course of the summer. Additionally, on special occasion abstract and experimental techniques in animation are set up, like paint-on-film and pixilation.
The video program teaches basic video skills and guides campers in making short films. Familiarity with Premier preferred.
Digital photography teaches a range of photography skills using point and shoots for our 8 year olds to DSLRs for our older campers.
In addition to teaching, the photographers and videographers are responsible for documenting camp life for the summer website, social media, the yearbook and all other internal and marketing projects.
