Sleepaway Camp for Boys Near Portland, Maine

A world of adventure awaits your son at Mowglis sleepaway camp for boys near Portland, Maine. Our traditional overnight summer camp, just a 2.5-hour drive from Portland, offers boys aged 7 to 16 the opportunity to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy stimulating activities while developing essential life skills in a safe, supervised environment.

Screen-Free Summer Camp Fun and Excitement

At our unplugged, ACA-accredited summer camp, your son can escape the summer technology rut and immerse himself in experiences only Mother Nature provides. Our scenic camp facilities, located in the foothills of the White Mountains on the pristine shores of Newfound Lake, offer the perfect setting for your child to break free from his usual routine and reconnect with the natural world while enjoying daily camping adventures.

Exciting Boys Summer Camp Activities

Our overnight camp program near Portland offers a wide range of exciting camp activities designed to challenge and inspire – options children usually don’t encounter close to home:

  • Canoeing and kayaking
  • Sailing
  • Crew
  • Swimming
  • Fishing
  • Hiking trips
  • Rock climbing
  • Woodworking
  • Archery
  • Fencing
  • Axemanship
  • Riflery
  • And much more

Along the way, your son will develop a sense of responsibility and confidence as he earns ribbons marking his successes, which are like scout badges. Each new talent he discovers will inspire him to try new things and reach new goals.

Building Skills at Summer Camp

While away from home at sleepaway camp, your son will make his own decisions and manage a schedule of chores and activities, developing a new sense of responsibility as he navigates daily challenges and adventures. Growing up alongside his boys’ summer camp family, he’ll open up to the world outside himself, becoming a more thoughtful, patient, grateful young man.

Forming Relationships that Last for Life

At our boys’ overnight summer camp, your son will learn valuable life lessons living in a community of kids of all ages and backgrounds from across the country. We host just 110 boys each summer, fostering a supportive, tight-knit camping community that forms the foundation for lasting friendships.

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.
