A healthy group experience provides the opportunity for a boy to feel a part of, and contribute to something larger than himself. The values learned in a group experience last a lifetime. At Mowglis, maintaining a positive sense of community is fundamental to our success.

Long time director Colonel Alcott Farrar Elwell stated in 1943; "Mowglis has striven to quicken, unfold, and develop the good which is inherent in every boy's character; and to bring him the companionship and friendship of the finest type of boys and men, and to establish the foundation for successful group adjustment."

Col. Elwell identified the value of group adjustment, and at Mowglis we feel that the benefits of our group experience cannot be replicated in any other setting. The 7 week residential program is instrumental in giving each boy the opportunity to learn the patience and tolerance that naturally occur as a diverse community lives and grows together.
