Overnight Summer Camp Near PA

Break the cycle of monotonous screen-filled routines. Unplug and give your child the gift of a fun summer away at Mowglis overnight summer camp near PA. Our outdoor boys’ camp offers exciting activities and adventures for children ages 7 to 15 in a safe, supervised environment. Our scenic campground is just a day trip away. It’s just over a 6-hour drive from Philadelphia and surrounding areas or a brief 1.5-hour flight to nearby Manchester-Boston Regional or Logan International, where we offer regular shuttles during camping season.

Unplug and Unwind at Mowglis Outdoor Boys’ Camp

At our unplugged summer camp, surrounded by nature and wildlife, your son will get back in touch with life’s natural rhythms and enjoy simple pleasures. Here on the sparkling shores of Newfound Lake near the majestic White Mountains he can step away from the lure of technology and connect with people outside his usual social circles. Our overnight camp program offers the perfect opportunity from him to spread his wings, growing in confidence and independence as he learns important life lessons.

Summer Camp Programs for Boys 7 to 15

We offer programs for children of all ages, including:

Cub program for boys ages 7 to 9

Our shorter, three-week Cub program helps younger children adjust to time away from parents at overnight camp, featuring a flexible schedule, 3:1 counselor-to-camper ratio, and supportive “Cub Mother.”

Pack program for boys ages 10 to 15

Mowglis Pack program offers the full seven-week camp experience, following our usual schedule of activities and including daily camp duties.

Yearling program for future camp leaders ages 15 to 16

We designed our Yearling program for boys interested in pursuing a future as Junior Staff members. We invite top performers to return and lead future campers in upcoming sessions.

Exciting and New Boys Summer Camp Activities

Our overnight summer camp for boys offers interesting and engaging new camping activities most children don’t have access to at home. We offer a little something for everyone, from hiking, rowing, archery, axe throwing, and rock climbing to nature studies, woodworking, and cooking. We’ve designed each industry to challenge and inspire your child to surmount obstacles to achieve ribbon goals, which are similar to Scout badges, fostering mind, body, and spiritual growth along the way.

The Opportunity to Build Lasting Sleepaway Camp Friendships

Mowglis summer camp for boys includes a limited enrollment of just 110 children from a wide range of backgrounds and ages, creating a unique dynamic. Older, more experienced boys share knowledge with younger, less experienced campers, creating a supportive atmosphere that reduces social and performance anxieties. As children tackle daily challenges and celebrate successes together, they grow to care for and trust in each other. Our tight-knit community grows into one big camping family by summer’s end.

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.
