Camp for Boys Near New York

Are you looking for an authentic overnight camping experience for children ages 7 to 15? Mowglis traditional summer camp for boys near New York is just a short drive, about the same distance away as Finger Lakes. We’re about three hours from Albany and five hours from New York City. Our beautiful campus stretches 160 acres across the pristine shores of Newfound Lake, surrounded by forest in the White Mountain’s foothills.

Unplug and Unwind at Mowglis Sleepaway Camp

Our overnight summer camp for boys is the perfect place for your son to escape the summer doldrums and the distraction of technology, connect with the real world, and enjoy the freedom only the great outdoors offers. Here, he can slow down, return to a normal schedule, and enjoy the simple things in life, like beautiful scenery, interesting animals, engaging activities, and delicious food, alongside his summer camp family. Away from the 24/7 bustling city activity, immersed in nature, your child will recalibrate, experiencing a new sense of peace and well-being.

Fun and Exciting Boys’ Summer Camp Activities

Activities at our boys’ overnight camp give your child the opportunity to try something new and test himself physically and mentally. Our summer camp activities include a little something for everyone, from hiking, swimming, and rowing to axe-throwing, archery, and woodworking. It’s incredible to watch our boys thrive during their time at camp. Here, trial and error are expected and accepted.

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.
