The past camping season at Mowglis summer camp for boys in New Hampshire was one of our most wondrous. To say the boys were excited to return to our boys’ overnight camp after a challenging 2020 is an understatement. What are some of the highlights from our highly anticipated 2021 season? Our youngest campers, The Cubs, share some of their favorite memories.

The Cubs Boys Summer Camp Program Starts with a Bang

Camp began June 26th with the explosion of cannon shots across Newfound Lake. After masking up on our initial return to camp, things returned to normal after week two in our bubble, when masks were happily left behind. Counselors immediately got to task teaching the young Cubs self-sufficiency, coaching them through unpacking.

After a long period of isolation, the children reveled in the social interaction our overnight camp program offers, quickly forming friendships. The Cubs enthusiastically reported to their camping activities and sign-ups, including favorites riflery, archery, tubing, arts and crafts, and all things boating-related. Confidence grew every day with each new skill and words of encouragement from camp counselors.

“Today in archery, I got six bullseyes, and I can tell my arm is getting a lot stronger.”

Summer Campers Meet New Challenges and Celebrate Triumphs

Thursday Trip Days brought with them opportunities for excitement and adventure, introducing the boys to new activities including the intense physical challenges of steep mountain trails. Reactions were mixed, ranging from enthusiasm to nervousness. Perseverance and resolve were tested and met with cheers and words of encouragement from our attentive camping staff. Campers shed tears, scaled physical, mental, and emotional mountains, growing into stronger Mowglis’ men.

On Trip Day, we went to Mt. Cardigan. My best friend Xavier fell down, but when we got to the top, we got oatmeal with chocolate.”

–Paul, New York, NY

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.
