The Wiggy Nursery program takes place in Arthurs Playroom, located in the lower level of the Main Inn.  Separated from the toddlers by gates, this bright, air-conditioned facility is equipped with cribs, playpen, fridge, microwave, change table, swings, rocking chairs and age appropriate toys.  Diapers, wipes, favourite toy, snack and bottle must be brought with child.  This program is available from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and in the evenings from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
Also located in Arthurs Playroom, this program offers a large indoor space for pedal toys and active play along with a safe fenced area with sandbox for outside play.  Cubbies for storage of personal items and plenty of age appropriate toys make for lots of fun.  Diapers, wipes, favourite toy, snack and bottle must be brought with child.  
A special feature of this program is the large climber with slides that is used both inside and outside so children can enjoy it year round.  Sesame Street characters adorn the room to add an element of familiar fun.  This program is available from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm and in the evenings from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.  Parents are advised that they will be contacted in the event their child becomes upset and can not be calmed down within 20 minutes, while enrolled in this program.

Jr. Eco-Nature Camp - Ages 3 & 4 Years and Sr. Eco-Nature Camp - Ages 5 & 6 Years

As part of the Eco-Nature Program, the Junior and Senior Camps give children an opportunity to experience nature with new friends for a whole lot of fun.  Days are filled with themed activities, crafts and a snack is served during the morning program.  Many of the activities take place outdoors so parents are asked to bring sunscreen, bug repellent, swim suit and ensure that children are dressed appropriately for weather conditions.  In the afternoon Senior Eco (5-6 yrs) will need a swimsuit, towel and life jacket (additional life jackets are available at the recreation centre).   This program runs from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, 2:30 to 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.   Jr. Eco participants join Wiggy Tots for evening program.
This active group takes full advantage of much of the sports equipment available at the Recreation Centre along with other activities.  This program runs from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, 2:30 to 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. 

Nature hikes, scavenger hunts, mini Olympic games, canoe trips, tie dye and sports round out the core of this program along with exploring all nature has to offer.  This program runs from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, 2:30 to 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. 

Teens usually meet between 9:30 and 10:00 am at the Recreation Centre and again in the afternoon from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.  Evening activities begin around 7:00 pm.  Teens participating in this program have the opportunity to choose whether they just want to hang out or take part in activities such as hemp bracelet making, operation "hit list", super sports, hot tub party, Wiggy War, electric circus boat party and water sports days.  Off property activities like "The Wiggy-Inapolis 500" go-karting, Kawartha Dairy/Pizza Party night, Movie at Kinmount Museum, batting cages, mini golf and more offer a greater independence for these teens.

DINING

Families taking advantage of  Vacation Packages at Wigamog Inn Resort enjoy breakfast and dinner in the intimate dining atmosphere of the Main Inn's three separate dining rooms.  With spectacular views of Lake Kashagawigamog, meals are a delight for the eyes as well as the palate.  See Vacation Packages for details on meal plans.

Serving hearty country fare, the chefs at Wigamog prepare meals that are sure to please.  Breakfast includes mounds of fruit, baked goods, freshly made waffles, egg entrees, sausages, bacon and more.  Dinner starts with appetizers, soup and/or salad followed by a choice of dinner entree and mouthwatering desserts.  Special dietary concerns can be accommodated if notified in advance.  New Years and Easter feature special brunches while Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners are sure to become a tradition for families at Wigamog.

Family dining at Wigamog has become an art form.  Attention to detail and family comfort are given the utmost consideration in the dining room.  For all guests' dining pleasure, families with young children dine in the first dining room.  This affords an opportunity for children to see the friends they have made and parents, knowing that everyone in the room has young children, can enjoy their meal in a relaxed setting.  One of the dining rooms is reserved for adults only and the remaining area is for families with older children.  During the summer months a patio is also available.  See Children's Dining for more family dining information.

Window tables in the dining room are at a premium and Wigamog assigns returning guests with the table they had on their last stay or upgrades them closer to or with a window table if possible.  Once you receive your seating assignment, in most cases, you are set for your stay and will be able to return to your table at each meal.  
When the full American Plan is available (See Vacation Packages) lunch is served beside the Moose Bar and Grill buffet style with salads, buns, bread, cold cuts, pizza and more.  Families can enjoy dining indoors and outdoors for this casual meal.

Children's Dining

Children receive special consideration at meal time.  Breakfast offers kid-friendly menu items like pancakes, waffles and french toast with maple syrup, muffins, baked goods, plenty of fruit, along with the breakfast fare.  Lunch (on full American Plan - See Vacation Packages) includes pizzas and other popular children's menu items.  

For dinner the dining room always features a special Children's Buffet table in addition to the dinner menu.  Parents can choose to:

  • Enjoy their evening meal with children.

  • Feed children (under and over 5) early and then return later for a more intimate meal while the children are enjoying the evening program.  

  • On selected evenings children 5 and up can participate in the "Kid's Dinner", a supervised mealtime with a movie and playtime after, allowing parents to have an intimate evening.

With a casual pub atmosphere, the Moose Bar & Grill offers specialty pizzas and pub fare including wings, served while patrons can enjoy the big screen TV, a game of darts or shoot some pool.  The Moose is open daily during the summer and special holiday periods as well as weekends all year long.  Children are not permitted in the Moose Bar & Grill after 9:30 pm.
