Camp Wigwam
Registration Deadline: Friday, May 8
Ahka Locka Ching! NSSRA once again will fly to Camp Wigwam on Bear Lake in Waterford, Maine
this summer. This camp offers exciting opportunities including swimming, tubing, fishing, riding
the speed boat on the beautiful Bear Lake and completing the challenging yet rewarding hike
up Hawk Mountain. We will challenge ourselves on the climbing wall and in archery, and spend
time together singing around the campfire and making s’mores! 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 go on an adventure, making new friends and new memories!
