FAQs for Campers

Frequently Asked Questions for Mowglis Campers

If you’ve got questions about what life is like at Camp Mowglis, here are some of the most common questions we get asked (and their answers of course). Do you have a question that isn’t answered here? Please shoot us a note on the Contact Us page, and we’ll get right back to you.



What is it like to live at camp? +

At Mowglis, you live with other campers your age in open-air dormitories. Each boy is assigned a bunk and a set of shelves for personal belongings. You can pack for camp in a duffle bag or a trunk. However, once you unpack, your trunk will be stored until the end of camp. You sleep with sheets and blankets, and your sleeping bag will be used for overnight trips. You will have the chance to swim every day. We have a campfire circle every night.

Do I get to choose what I want to do? +

Yes! Mowglis offers 16 different activities, and what you do is your own choice. We have a daily schedule where campers sign up for instruction in their chosen activities, and there are also open periods when you can try something just for fun. When you find an “industry” you like, you can sign up to spend more time practicing that activity, acquiring new skills, and maybe earning a ribbon.

Will I get to play my favorite sport at camp? +

At Mowglis, you will get to try new sports and activities that might not be available at home, like archery, riflery, rock climbing, rowing crew, windsurfing, and woodworking. Our boys play a lot of pick-up basketball and soccer… and tether-ball at Mowglis is legendary! Many of our boys enjoy a break from the sports they practice and play at home during the fall, winter, and spring.

What are meals like? +

You will eat with other campers your age and staff “family style” for all meals. Meals are delicious, homemade, and kid-friendly. Some favorites are spaghetti, fajitas, pizza, stir-fry, and BBQ. Dessert is served every night and at many lunches. Campers take turns as dining room helpers.

Will I go on trips? +

Yes! You will go on different types of trips depending on your age and ability. We go hiking, camping, backpacking, canoeing, and kayaking. It doesn’t matter if you have never done these things before; you will have the opportunity to participate, and we will not ask you to do more than you can handle.

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.
