Our Team

​Dedicated to our campers

​The staff at Camp Tekakwitha are amazing! The majority are former campers who now want to give back to the next generation of Tekakwithians. They will introduce you to nature, guide you on the Appalachian Trail and share unforgettable experiences with you. Our staff members come back year after year and look forward to campers doing the same. Just one stay at Androscoggin Lake is enough to forge a sense of belonging and become a member of the great Tekakwithian family. Together, let’s dare to grow!
