Maine Summer Camp for Boston Families

An Easy Drive from Greater Boston

Waterford, Maine is approximately 3 hours from Boston and 2.5 hours from Portland. The drive up Route 95 and into the western Maine foothills is part of the rhythm of the summer for many of our families.

Why Boston-Area Families Choose Wigwam

Proximity makes Wigwam accessible for visiting day without ever feeling like a local day camp. Boys are genuinely away, immersed in the rhythms of camp life, while families know they can reach them when it matters.

The White Mountains setting offers a real wilderness experience, the kind of summer that's harder and harder to find within a few hours of a major city.

Part of a New England Tradition

Wigwam is part of a long tradition of Maine summer camps serving New England families across generations. Many of our Boston-area campers are second- or third-generation Wammers whose parents and grandparents grew up on Bear Lake.
