COVID-19 Mowglis Parent Information

WE DID IT! Mowglis 2021 was a fantastic and surprisingly normal summer!  Thanks to many Mowglis working together, the campers and staff had a great time – and the experience was, as we had hoped, a (more than less) “Regular” Mowglis summer!  To read more about how we’re kept our campers and staff safe, please go here to review our 2021 Mowglis COVID-19 Preparedness, Response, and Control Plan.

The threat of COVID didn’t force us to make substantial changes to the program – as it could have. The challenges imposed by COVID were significant, but thanks to the careful planning of the Mowglis Reopening Taskforce, composed of Mowglis staffers, board members, and external medical professionals, we developed a plan that allowed us to operate the camp close to normal.

Did the campers and staff wear masks? Yes, but only for the first week, and then when folks were off-site and amongst the general public. 

Did the trips go out? Yes! Trips went out every week, on the same schedule as previous summers. Most of the trip locations were the same as past summers. We sought out less-populated alternative destinations for a few trips to stay away from the high-traffic areas experiencing unprecedented numbers of visitors. 

Was there COVID testing? Yes – everyone had a pre-arrival, upon-arrival, and 5-day PCR Test, and all staff members tested weekly. Testing is what allowed us to be unmasked and mixed at camp. 

Did we have any cases of COVID at Mowglis? No! The pre-arrival testing did its job and stopped at least one case from making its way into camp, thank goodness!

Did the boys have the amazing Mowglis summer they all deserved after a year of pandemic restrictions and lock-downs? ABSOLUTELY!! 

This summer was a genuine team effort – so many people pulled together to make it a success – too many to list here. So please know that whether you’re an alumnus, a staff member, a parent, a board member, a reopening taskforce member, a camper, or other…  All I can say is thank you – thank you all! 

The Mowglis program is alive and strong, maybe stronger than ever, thanks to the persistent, tenacious, gritty strength of the Pack pulling together the best way we know how: the Mowglis Way!

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.

Mowglis Boys Summer Campers are Family

Our families know that Mowglis overnight summer camp for boys aged 7-15 is an extraordinary place. This is due in no small part to the wonderful families who have chosen our outdoor leadership camp for their sons. In joining the Mowglis family, you help us pass the torch, carrying on the tradition of summer camp to future generations and other families across the country.

 

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for becoming part of the Camp Mowglis family. Please help us spread the joy of camping. If you know of someone you’d like to invite to join our camping family, please complete our camp referral form so we can reach out.
