I was a camper at Camp Mowglis back in the 60’s. I still have fond memories of my time spent there and are using the life lessons from my time spent there. In this day and age of social media seven weeks away in beautiful New Hampshire is the perfect getaway. Good Hunting!

The summer of 2013 was my son's first at Camp Mowglis, and I was worried as he was 13 and had never been away to camp before. I was looking for a camp that would have a supportive environment, yet be challenging enough to help my son transition from a boy to a young man. Well, I couldn't have made a better choice than Camp Mowglis! There are not enough words to express how grateful I am for this wonderful place. It is truly like a big extended family. Thomas LOVED his summer there and cannot wait to return for a second year. My only regret is that I didn't find out about it until he was 13. I wish he had started going there earlier. I really cannot say enough about this place. I truly believe it is one of the best experiences you can provide for your son over the summer. I HIGHLY recommend it.

Where boys become men.

My sons started going to Camp Mowglis when they were 8 and 12 years old. We live in France and my youngest barely spoke English. The first year, he was signed up for just half the summer. When I came to visit them after 3 weeks, my youngest said that if he couldn't stay until the end of the summer, he would never speak to me again! 10 years later, at age 18, he still goes back as a junior counselor. My oldest has also been a member of the senior staff. Mowglis has been wonderful for my children. In spite of being and all boys camp, there is something maternal about it. Everyone knows everyone, no one gets lost in the crowd, all are taken care of. Many parents are hesitant to send their children to a seven week camp. In seven weeks, kids really have the time to let go of any family problems they might have. They have ample time to try all of the activities and make deep friendships. My children have never thought it too long. In fact, they think that an additional week would be cool. At the end of every summer, I can see how much they have grown up, become more independent and self confident. They have really absorbed the good values that camp teaches. During many summers, my children were able to experience many activities (hiking, camping, axemen-ship,sailing) in a safe and encouraging environment. Speaking of environment, there are no video games, phones, ipods allowed in camp. Children are able to have several weeks without screens in their faces. They can get "unhooked". Social relationships are the priority. As a result, kids make friends for life. Camp is on a beautiful lake surrounded by pines, the staff are as nice as could be and the values that camp exemplifies are humane and respectful of the environment. I highly recommend Camp Mowglis.

My attendance to Mowglis as a camper (1952-1956) and as a member of the staff as rifle instructor (1961 &1 1962) molded my life. I can not say enough about this "School of the Open". As a retired teacher I have seen a lot of programs for young people. The program "curriculum" at Mowglis is, by far the best to teach character, confidence, maturity and knowledge of things practical in the context of having a really fun summer. A boy will have the experience of learning his limits and at the same time expanding them. He will grow physically, become very healthy because of living 24/7 mostly out of doors, learn skills from swimming, rowing, tennis, nature, environment, hiking, camping, to even singing. The list is long. Mowglis creates responsible mature young men. It did for me and for my sons who followed me there over the years.

I am a legacy Mowglis graduate (1969) with a great uncle, cousins, and a son all Mowglis alumni as well. Every one of us would say without hesitation that it is the single most important maturing influence of our lives. You don't just "go to camp" for the summer, you live the "Mowglis Way" while there and beyond. This is truly the exceptional growth experience through which boys begin the purposeful journey to adulthood with tremendous achievement, pride, and FUN together along the way.
