Upper Diamond -
(not to be confused with Black Diamond, award winning Camp Wigwam rock
group) The Upper Diamond, or upper D, is where the campers live and play. Bunks and tents surround the upper D, where kickball, softball, ultimate frisbee, kabahdi, rockball, football, lacrosse, and Kamran's cloud watching classes are held.

Lower Diamond -
The lower D, also an area of much activity, sports Wigwam's baseball and soccer fields, golf practice tee and new sand trap. Football, soccer, baseball, ultimate frisbee, and memorable bunk boy capture the flag games are held here regularly.

H.O.L. -
For some reason, the previous directors of the camp - Mandy and Pop - named all of the bathroom facilities after English houses of government! H.O.L.. - House of Lords, the upper campus (tent boy) facility H.O.C. - House of Commons, the lower campus facility Buckingham Palace - waterfront facility

How bout' some baseball scores!? -
Reported each morning after breakfast, followed by our opinion of a certain team that plays in the Bronx!

Maisie Tree -
I'm afraid you need to come Wigwam to have this one explained to you. Your computer may not have enough memory for this tale.

Ach Du Schoene -
Isn't it beautiful... A Wigwam tradition, in german, in which the Wigwam community sings along to a hand painted 16 section cartoon/ caricature depicting the funny and memorable events of a particular summer.
Ya gotta love this place !!!
