Sleepaway Camp for Boys Aged 10-13

Next summer, don’t let your son get stuck in his usual technology-centered rut. Help him break away and form new, healthier habits at Mowglis’ sleepaway camp for boys aged 10-13. Located in the foothills of the White Mountains on Newfound Lake in New Hampshire, just hours from Boston, MA, NYC, Albany, NY, and Providence, RI, our 7-week overnight camp program provides the perfect setting for your child to have tons of fun while making new friends and learning essential life skills.

Give Your Son a Chance to Explore New and Exciting Summer Camp Activities

Mowglis offers kids the chance to immerse themselves in traditional camp activities they might not otherwise have access to at home. Here, your son can try exciting industries like archery, axe throwing, and rock climbing, join fellow campers swimming, rowing, or fishing on the lake, learn orienteering and hiking on White-Footed Mouse Trail, and more. We offer something for everyone, giving children the freedom to choose daily camp activities and how quickly they want to fulfill their ribbon requirement goals. These awards are Mowglis’ version of Boy Scout badges, requiring hard work and proficiency to attain over the consecutive weeks and summers they attend our overnight summer camp.

Take a Break from the Usual Summer Routine at Sleepaway Camp

Unlike at home, where it’s easy for your son to fall into a mindless and monotonous routine of dawn-to-dusk gaming and social media, Mowglis boys’ summer camp offers an entirely unplugged camp experience. Campers manage their own daily activity schedule, and though each day is built on routine, no two are the same. Each day in the life at Camp Mowglis begins with a morning bugle call. After waking up, your son will dress, tidy up, brush his teeth, and wash his hands before heading to a delicious dining hall breakfast. Before he leaves, he’ll choose his free signup activity, then he’ll manage his assigned camp duties, which rotate daily.

After that, he’ll attend his first scheduled activity, which we call industries. Each industry lasts two weeks so your child can gain the skills necessary to earn his ribbons. Lunch follows the first industry period, followed by a brief break to rest and digest before daily cleanup. Second industry and your son’s free signup activity follow. Then it’s time for a soak – everyone takes a refreshing dip in the lake before dinner. Colors ceremony and fellowship by the campfire bring the day to a close. After that, it’s time for call-to-quarters and retiring to bed with his fellow campers in our screened, open-air dormitories, following a quiet chat or a few minutes reading his favorite book.

Boys Overnight Camp Challenges Set Your Son Up for Success

During his summer camp stay, your child will get to spread his wings, making memories as he grows in body, mind, and spirit. Each step out of his comfort zone and each achievement he makes will offer rewards far beyond the ribbons he brings home. He’ll learn independence as he overcomes the fear of trying new things and being on his own. Your son will learn the art of cooperation and compromise as he lives as part of our close-knit camping community, tackling daily obstacles and achieving goals alongside his peers. He’ll gain the motivation and determination to try and master new things beyond the camp setting. Most importantly, he’ll gain an appreciation for home luxuries that he’s taken for granted, viewing his family and the world in a different light.

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.
