Camp Wigwam (New dates!)*
Registration Deadline: Friday, May 10
Acka Lacka Ching! NSSRA once again will fly to Camp Wigwam on Bear Lake in Waterford, Maine this summer. This camp offers exciting opportunities
from swimming, tubing, fishing, and riding on a speed boat in the beautiful Bear Lake, and hiking up Hawk Mountain, to singing around a campfire, and
challenging ourselves on the climbing wall and in archery. We will also venture outside of Camp Wigwam to watch a baseball game in Portland, Maine, go
blueberry picking and hang out at the beach! The camp is accredited by the American Camping Association, and NSSRA has been taking groups to Maine for
over forty years. Camp Wigwam is an unforgettable experience and a great opportunity to make new memories and friends!
New participants must attend an NSSRA overnight trip prior to the registration deadline for Camp Wigwam so NSSRA can assess the
individual’s readiness for this trip. There will also be a mandatory meeting for new participants a week before camp. Please note that
participants will be in single beds and sharing cabins with peers. If you want your own cabin, please contact Katie James to make
arrangements by the registration deadline.
A trip waiver and information packet will be sent out after the registration deadline and must be returned no later than Monday, July 29. Participants must
be able to perform daily living skills, follow scheduled activities and function at a 1:4 staff to participant ratio. This program may require participants to walk
from place to place. It is not recommended that you register if you tire easily when walking. Fee includes transportation, meals, accommodations, and a wide
variety of activities. For trip details, please contact Katie James, Recreation Specialist for Trips, at (847) 509-9400 x6833 or [email protected].
