A summer at Mowglis overnight camp shapes good boys into good men, creating memories (and friends) to last a lifetime. What are YOUR summer camp memories? Mowglis alumni share their most unforgettable experiences.
Getting in Touch with Nature
The quiet – and sounds – of nature that are nothing like those of the city: The ringing of crickets and frogs. The melody of birds singing. The wind in the trees. The slapping of water against the lakeshore. Hiking trips.
Swimming Every Day
Swimming in the lake. The feel of a cool plunge in the water on a hot summer day. Playing Marco Polo, and planned and unplanned experiences like knocking over the canoe at camp.
Pretending to be Green Arrow or Robin Hood
Learning new archery skills with the bow and arrow. Laughing at yourself when your aim is far from true but pretending to be Robin Hood or the Green Arrow anyway – then arguing about who is cooler.
Making New Friends
Forging relationships with friends while rising to the challenges of daily tasks. Relaxing and enjoying s’mores or a quiet evening unwinding after a fun, adventure-filled day.
Responsibilities
Realizing you were responsible for yourself and cleaning (gasp), including getting dressed and making your bed, getting to your camping activities on time, and daily dorm cleanup. And the feeling of accomplishment and pride you felt after pulling it all off!
Sitting by the Campfire
The flickering flames and smell of the campfire. Nights roasting marshmallows and building s’mores. Sticky fingers and laughter. The magic of fireside storytelling.
The Weeks with No Technology
And the shock of realizing you didn’t miss it amid the exciting activities you never dreamed you’d get the chance to try with your friends, like learning to use a bow and arrow, axemanship, and fencing. En-garde!!
Boat Racing… And Sore Muscles
Racing your friends and rowing your heart out. Later discovering (sore) muscles you didn’t know you had.
Realizing You Know What You’re Doing – And Teaching Someone Else Who Doesn’t
The feeling of empowerment, mastering a task you never thought you would. And realizing you know how to do it well enough to help a friend – who you watch get better with your help.

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.

If purchased, may protect up to the full cost of your son’s session and include various other benefits should the need arise.
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.
