Give your son the gift of a truly memorable summer at Mowglis boys’ summer camp near Maine. Our overnight summer camp for kids aged 7 to 15 is just a short two-and-a-half-hour drive from Portland. We offer a traditional camping experience in a safe, supervised environment. Our sleepaway camp program provides the perfect opportunity for your son to grow physically and emotionally away from home. Here, he can meet new people and learn essential life skills while enjoying exciting outdoor experiences.
Unplug at Sleepaway Camp
Our rustic, unplugged summer camp on the shores of Newfound Lake by the White Mountains provides the perfect escape from another stagnant, screen-filled summer in Maine. At overnight camp, your son can reset his internal clock and enjoy the beauty and wonders of nature. During his time at sleepaway camp, he can take a deep breath and relax, enjoying the mental and physical benefits only time spent in green spaces can provide.
Overnight Summer Camp Fun for All Ages
Mowglis’ unique program creates the perfect environment for building lasting friendships and learning essential life skills. Each summer, we host a tight-knit community of about 100 boys from all ages and backgrounds. Our curriculum is designed to give children in every age group the support they need to have a successful, enjoyable camp experience they will look forward to each summer:
Boys 7-9
Our Cub program offers younger boys a shorter 3-week camping season, a higher counselor-to-camper ratio, a more flexible schedule, and more age-appropriate camping activities. It’s perfect for inexperienced children who are not used to spending time away from home.
Boys 10-15
The Mowglis Pack program lasts seven weeks, allowing boys to immerse themselves in camp life. Campers follow a regular daily schedule, earning ribbons as they reach activity goals and learn essential life skills. As boys progress from the Toomai dorm at age 10 to the Den at age 14, we prepare them to serve as future camp leaders.
Boys 15-16
The Yearling program is designed to inspire boys to grow their leadership potential and earn an invitation to return as part of our Junior Staff. It includes fast-paced, challenging, and fun outdoor activities beyond Mowglis’ campgrounds, such as backpacking, whitewater kayaking, community service projects, wilderness first aid, and CPR.
