Our Story
Nestled in the Foothills of the White Mountains
Wonderful Wigwam Weeks
Campers cooling off on the Bear Lake float
Each summer, boys ages 6 to 16 have made Bear Lake a second home for building lifelong friendships and experiences. We offer a 7-week full summer, half summer sessions, and 2-week Rookies sessions.
At Wigwam, boys thrive in a safe and nurturing environment where they are free to grow, develop, and take those important early steps toward becoming the young men they are meant to be.

Wigwam Plaques — a cherished tradition since day one
Many campers return summer after summer to rekindle friendships and continue their own unique Wigwam journey. With campers arriving from all corners of the globe, and many following in the footsteps of their fathers and grandfathers, the Wigwam family runs deep.
Camp Wigwam offers a wide variety of activities in a low-pressure environment, giving every camper the freedom to discover new passions and develop life skills both on and off the court.
Friendships That Last a Lifetime
Making memories on the waterfront dock
From arts, athletics, and aquatics to all the small moments in between, Wigwam guides every camper toward becoming the very best version of himself.
