Sleepaway Camp for Boys Aged 7-9

At Mowglis, we understand sending younger children to summer camp poses unique challenges. Our sleepaway camp for boys aged 7-9 meets these needs with specially designed programming for new, inexperienced campers. This shorter, 3-week session includes a flexible activity schedule, limited enrollment, and a higher 3:1 ratio of campers to staff, creating a more personal camp experience to help your child feel safe during his first time away from home. Our scenic camp facilities located amidst beautiful forests, lakes, and mountains, just hours from Boston, MA, NYC, Albany, NY, and Providence, RI, offer the perfect atmosphere for fun and adventure.

Exciting Summer Camp Activities for Young Boys

In our school of the open, your child can disconnect from electronics and rejoin the real world, learning essential life lessons that encourage physical, mental, and emotional growth. He’ll experience the excitement of exploring nature, living in the forest in our open-air screened dormitories, and having exciting camp adventures while making new friends. Our boys’ overnight camp gives kids the chance to immerse themselves in traditional camp activities they might not have access to at home. On a typical day at camp, your son could take part in:

  • Team games on the playing field
  • Treasure hunts
  • Swimming
  • Day hikes
  • Overnight trips
  • Lessons in crew, archery, rock climbing, and more

We offer something for everyone, allowing children to choose how quickly they want to fulfill their ribbon requirement goals. Like Boy Scout badges, they require hard work and proficiency to attain over the consecutive weeks and summers your son will attend our overnight summer camp.

Mowglis Boys’ Summer Camp Offers a Break from the Usual Summer Routine

Unlike at home, where it’s easy for your son to fall into the habit of staring at a mobile device from dawn to dusk, Mowglis offers an entirely unplugged camp experience surrounded by other children. Instead of monotonous screen time, he’ll manage his own daily activity schedule. Though we build each day on routine, no two days are the same. He’ll follow the same schedule as our older boys, with the flexibility to engage in other activities some younger Cubs prefer.

Every day offers new excitement and adventures, beginning with the morning bugle call. After waking, your child will get dressed, clean up his bunk area, brush his teeth, and wash his hands before breakfast at the dining hall. After eating, he’ll choose what he’d like to do during his free period and help with any assigned camping duties. After that, he’ll go to his first scheduled activity, followed by lunch. Then, your son will get a brief break to rest and digest before cleaning chores. Following chores, he’ll go to his second chosen activity. After that, it’s time for a soak –a refreshing dip in the lake before dinner. Colors ceremony and campfire fellowship bring the day to a close. Then it’s time for call-to-quarters and retiring to bed after a quiet chat with friends or a few minutes reading his favorite book.

Sleepaway Camp Challenges Designed to Help Your Son Grow

Our sleepaway camp for boys gives your child the perfect place to grow in independence in a safe environment. He’ll have plenty of supervision and guidance from counselors and a familiar face throughout his stay, with a Cub Mother remaining for the duration of camp. With this guidance, he’ll quickly adjust and grow in independence, stretching his wings as he learns to manage his daily camp schedule of activities and responsibilities. Growing in mind, body, and spirit, he’ll learn the art of cooperation and compromise as part of our close-knit camp community. As he surmounts daily obstacles along with his fellow Cubs, he’ll make memories, forming lasting friendships and dreaming upcoming summers when he’s ready to attend our full 7-week Pack program with campers ages 10-15 in future years.

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.
