Our Counselors & Staff

Mowglis Camp Counselors

Everyone who works at Camp Mowglis is committed to continuing the traditions that have defined this special place for more than a century.


All of our counselors are of strong character, are exceptional role models, and have completed at least one year of college. During our rigorous application process, we perform thorough interviews, reference checks, and criminal background checks in order to select the best men and women for the job. Please go here to meet some of the Mowglis Team!


Yes, you read that correctly — we said “women.” About ⅓ of our staff is female — from Industry Counselors to our Cub Moms (who live with our youngest campers).


We take our responsibility of caring for your son very seriously. Every staff member goes through our comprehensive 14-day orientation before campers arrive. They are trained in many areas, including:


  • Wilderness First Aid certification
  • CPR certification (we also have a full-time nurse on staff and the hospital is only 15 minutes away)
  • Homesickness training
  • Crisis management
  • Archery and Riflery Instructor Certification
  • American Red Cross lifeguard certification (waterfront staff)
  • Water Safety Instructor certified (swim instructors)

Our staff members consist of college and graduate students, school teachers, wilderness specialists, educators, and prior Mowglis campers.


Most of our counselors stay with us for a handful of summers. But they don’t stay forever. After all, our staff are going places — they’re getting internships, they’re exploring career opportunities, they’re growing into the good men and women Mowglis taught them to be.


But hey, we always know we’ll see them again on Crew Day!

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 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.
