Overview
Steeped in tradition and tucked away in the foothills of the majestic White Mountains, Camp Wigwam is a haven for young explorers and budding artists alike. This historic camp, established over a century ago in 1910, is nestled amid a towering pine grove and the pristine, sandy shores of Bear Lake in southwestern Maine.
At Camp Wigwam, it's not about fitting into a mold, but about fostering individual growth - each child's journey is tailored to them. Whether your little one is an introverted bookworm or an outgoing sports enthusiast, there's a place for them in the growing Wigwam family. The camp's intimate atmosphere, featuring small cabin groups of just four campers and a counselor, encourages close-knit bonds and lifelong friendships.
The camp's activity roster is as diverse as the campers themselves, from performing arts, music, theater, and drama to golf, swimming, tennis, and fishing. Golf enthusiasts will be thrilled with daily lessons and regular outings to local courses, while those with a passion for water will find their niche in swimming, sailing, canoeing, fishing, snorkeling, and a top-tier water skiing program.
But it's not just about sports at Camp Wigwam - there's an ample dose of creativity too. Campers can indulge in woodworking, ceramics, traditional crafts, and even drama. If your child has a penchant for scaling heights, there's rock climbing, and for those who prefer their adventures a bit more grounded, there's hiking. And if the need arises, tutoring is available to ensure no camper falls behind acadically during their fun-filled summer.
At Camp Wigwam, every day is a new adventure, a chance to learn, grow, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
