Here you will find important information for Parents. You can email your son, view the latest pictures from camp, view the current weather at camp, order camp clothing and get information on Parents Day 2011.
Visiting Camp
We extend a most cordial invitation to visit camp on Saturday, July 23rd. All Parent/Son activities will be held on that day. We invite parents and siblings to join us, starting at 9:15 a.m., for a walk-through of camp activities and program scheduling, followed by buffet lunch and The Wigwam Water-ski Show, the fourteenth annual Parent / Son Decathlon, and finally a theatrical production by the Wigwam Players. At that time, parents are welcomed to take their camper(s) out to dinner with a return time of 8:30 p.m. Sunday visiting is reserved for parents who can only make it that day.
Information for Parents
Phone Calls
Parents and campers are welcome to phone. We feel that keeping the lines of communication open makes every camper and parent, whether rookie or veteran, feel that much more comfortable. Parents are asked to arrange a phone call through the Wigwam office so as to not disrupt the daily schedule in taking a child away from an activity. Homesick camper's phone calls will be scheduled so that the time in between calls increases proportionally, and before long sad calls become enthusiastic and happy ones. Parents are also encouraged to write, e-mail or fax on a regular basis.
Outfitter Information
We use a company called AmeraSport for outfitting. Everything your son will need for summer is on our online Wigwam store. Click on the link below to go there.
Our schedule on Parent's day (Saturday, July 23rd, 2011) starts at 9:15 A.M. Parents, families and friends are encouraged to accompany their camper(s) on their normal morning schedule to get a feel for the normal camp day. At noon, a sumptuous buffet lunch will be served on the lodge lawn while the 32nd Annual Wigwam Water Ski Extravaganza is presented. Families are then encouraged to participate in Wigwam's Parent / Son Decathlon which is followed by our annual theatrical production. Parents may then take their camper(s) out of camp for family time and dinner, and are asked to return by 8:30 P.M.

Current Weather at Wigwam
Wigwam has a multitude of activities to do on what we call a 'Rainy Javadizaday,' named after the famous Wigwam alum, Kamran...Java...diza...day. In fact, some campers even look forward to these days because it might be a chance to catch up on some reading, play cards or play a board game with some friends. If we are really lucky, Bob might start up some famous Wigwam Bingo (with prizes!)
Of course, if the weather is good, then there is nothing to worry about.
