Activities
Camp Androscoggin is part of the Central Maine Camp League (CMCL), competing with Cobbossee, Caribou, Manitou, and others camps in sports, including baseball, soccer, tennis, basketball, archery, and swimming.
Land sports take place on its two baseball fields, two soccer fields, three basketball courts, twelve tennis courts, archery and rifles ranges, and a climbing wall. A recent addition to sport facilities is the Foster Fieldhouse, with a high school regulation-sized basketball court.
Water sports use a 2,000-foot-long (610 m) shoreline for competitive and instructional swimming, sailing, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, windsurfing, waterskiing and wakeboarding.
Arts and crafts, pottery, woodworking, and animation take place in an arts center, and a theater holds musical talent shows and plays, and the final event of the camp's Color War, during which campers sing Alma Mater and fight songs.
20 network ID's for Nickelodeon have been produced here in 1988, along with "Toon Break", a series of shorts for Toon Disney.
Androscoggin also has an overnight and day-trip program, including trips to Mt. Washington, Mount Katahdin, the Allagash River, and Montreal.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)
