Camper Population


Campers come from all over the world, representing as many as 20 states and 10 countries each year. Mowglis is situated in the heart of New England on Newfound Lake, just south of New Hampshire’s White Mountains.


Our Campus


The camp’s property includes 125 acres of pine woods and open space as well as an extensive shoreline. Throughout camp are playing fields, riflery and archery ranges, clay tennis courts, and a fully equipped crafts shop. Rustic open-air dormitories, assembly halls, and an infirmary are among the facilities set into the wooded surroundings. Two waterfront areas with two boathouses are well suited to water sports, including crew.

The Mowglis Program


Mowglis offers a diverse program allowing campers to experience a wide variety of traditional outdoor activities in a safe and structured setting. Day and overnight hiking trips in the White Mountains give the boys a chance to appreciate the outdoors, while a camp-wide emphasis on crew provides the opportunity to learn a uniquely cooperative sport that rewards team effort over individual skill.


Our Counselors


Mowglis counselors are selected not only for their skills and qualifications, but also for the example they provide. Some of the staff members are school teachers, and many were campers at Mowglis. We have a 3:1 camper to staff ratio.


How we Hire, Train and Prepare our Senior Staff


Contrary to the common depiction in movies that shows summer camp work as an easy job full of goofing off and shenanigans, being a member of the Mowglis Senior Staff is serious business. It is super rewarding, and is definitely a lot of fun, but the level of responsibility for and the influence on our campers that Senior Staffers have mandates that we hire, train, and coach the best of the best.

The Legend of The Jungle Book and our Kipling Connection


With the permission of author Rudyard Kipling, the camp’s founder borrowed names from his Jungle Books, and to this day Toomai, Baloo, Akela, and other names are used throughout the Mowglis program. During his life, Kipling kept in contact with the camp and maintained an active interest in the undertaking so influenced by his inspiring stories.

The Mow-Trow Gear Exchange: Smart & Sustainable Gear Sharing:

If your son has outgrown Mowglis uniform items (aka Mow-Trow) that are still in good shape, please add them to this spreadsheet. If you’re looking for Mow-Trow or other gear (hiking boots, backpacks, etc.), you can check out this spreadsheet, and if you find what you’re looking for, contact the parent who posted it up and either arrange for shipping (or to pick it up if you live in the same area).

 

The best way to pay for shipping will be for the family with the items to box them up and bring them to a UPS Store and have the parent receiving the items call the store with their credit card number. That is how we send lost and found items at the end of the summer, and it works quite well. Please note when items have been claimed once they have been. Any unclaimed items can be brought to camp on arrival day or shipped to camp.

Keeping Campers Safe: Our Tick Management Approach:

How do you manage the threat of ticks?

While we have fewer ticks in NH than in more southern New England states, we still take ticks extremely seriously.

 

Here are some big-picture ways we protect our campers from ticks:

 

  • Our defense starts with staff education – all campers and counselors are taught what, where, and when to look for, and we have the campers do tick checks at least daily and every time they’ve been out in the bushes.
  • If a tick is found embedded on a camper while at camp, he will go to the nurse for removal and bite-site mapping, and then the tick is saved, and the camper will be monitored daily for any signs of infection.
  • If there is a parental desire or signs of infection, the tick is sent to a lab for testing.
  • We have bottles of bug spray throughout camp and on all trips.
  • We cut back brush to minimize the chance of ticks hopping onto folks as they walk around camp.
