Summer Camp for Boys Aged 7, 8, 9
Our shorter, three-week Cub program is perfect for introducing younger kids to boys’ overnight camp. It has a flexible schedule and a higher, 3:1 counselor-to-camper ratio, including a regular “Cub Mother” to help your son feel more secure. During his stay as a Cub, your son will enjoy age-appropriate adventures like swimming, rowing in our kid-friendly crew-boats, team games, treasure hunts, day hikes, and overnight trips. He will also have access to the jungle gym, playing field, and tetherball at Cubland dorm, our open-air, screened camp residences.

After lunch and a rest/free hour, they’ll indulge in a late-afternoon all-camp swim. Dinner, our Colors Ceremony, and the evening campfire round out the day. The children retire with their counselors and camping family – other boys in their age group – in one of five screened, open-air dorms.
Summer Camp Leadership Program for Boys Aged 15, 16
Leadership is a big part of the Mowglis experience. Older boys in our Yearling program are looked to as mentors, guiding and setting the standard for younger campers. In this three-week program at our outdoor leadership camp for boys aged 15-16, your son will apply the skills he’s learned over years of camping, applying them in real-world situations. As he masters each duty managing younger campers in fun, fast paced, challenging outdoor environments, he will grow into a confident young man with tremendous leadership potential. Key program facets include:
- Hiking and camping trip planning
- Leadership and teambuilding
- Community service projects, like trail clearing and splitting wood for the elderly
- Wilderness First Aid (WFA) and CPR training
- Whitewater kayaking class
Young men who excel in their duties in the Yearling program are invited back as Junior Staff members, taking on a more in-depth role with additional responsibilities, leading campers through daily industries.
