Why Wigwam?
Prospective families most often ask the question;"What makes Wigwam so special?"  As soon as a new camper passes under the Totem Pole entrance for the first time they become a "Wigwammer" at that very moment. The spirit, the camaraderie, the sense of community and the joy of summer camp happen almost immediately in this nurturing and friendly environment. For generations, boys have enjoyed this magical spot on the shores of Bear Lake, returning year after year as campers, Counselors in Training, full staff members, and ultimately as revered alumni. Cherished memories, and lifelong friendships are forged and preserved in this hallowed and traditional setting in the woods of Maine.

How does my son get to Wigwam?
The Wigwam office will help arrange air transportation for any family wishing to have their youngster fly to camp. Wigwam staff will escort campers from every airport, as a Wigwam camper never flies unattended. Camp Wigwam will arrange free coach transportation from the greater Boston area on opening and closing dates each season, and will gladly assist any family in making arrangements to meet that coach on those dates. For families who choose to drive to Wigwam, directions may be found on our web site.
