WIGWAM CAMPERSHIP FUND

We are so proud to say that the scholarship arm of Camp Wigwam has sprouted from a third-generation Wigwam family, Joe (2014-present), Dan (’81-’86), and Moe Finkelstein (’54-’59). Through Ubuntu Camp Connections alumni can support Wigwam by making it more accessible to deserving families while ensuring robust enrollment and operations. Donations are tax-deductible. 

Or contact Bob or Neal to discuss sponsoring a camper, either individually or as a group of alumni.
