Preparing for Camp
Packing and Luggage
Campers generally need 8-10 days worth of clothes and personal items. When it comes to choosing which sports equipment to pack, think about activities your camper will focus on routinely versus try for the first time. No matter what, we have all the necessary equipment to support your camper.
Luggage to Camp: If your camper’s luggage is set to arrive with your camper - either on the Tri-State bus or on an airplane - we are here to help make that a smooth process. For families looking to ship baggage to and from camp, UPS and FedEx are time tested favorites. For one-way return luggage, the Mailing Center is a useful resource. Contact us for assistance with all bags and questions.
Camp Wigwam Gear: Amerasport offers an entire catalog of camp branded gear. We only ask that campers arrive with two red and two grey t-shirts. A hoodie sweatshirt is nice too. (Name labelled please)
International Campers: We provide linens, blankets, and towels for international campers during the summer.
Returning Campers: Don’t forget your camp plaques!

Nursing and Medication
Our professional and dedicated medical team is comprised of numerous on-site RNs to staff the Health Lodge and an on-call physician for regular clinic hours. The Health Lodge is open 24/7 for first-aid, evaluation, and recovery. For more serious or persistent symptoms, appointments are made to see the local family practice in town. All emergencies are addressed by Bridgton Hostpital (15 minutes).
The medical team is available for consultation before, during, and after camp. To arrange a pre- or post-camp conversation, reach out to Neal. During the summer months, the medical team can be reached directly at nursing@campwigwam.com.
Medication
Wigwam uses CampMeds service for all prescription and non-prescription medications in order to enhance the safety and efficiency of administration for every camper. Families should register their camper at www.campmeds.com.
