Don’t let your son get stuck in his usual summertime rut – try something new at Camp Mowglis. Our overnight summer camp for boys 7 to 16 offers the perfect solution for summer doldrums. At our scenic boys’ summer camp on the scenic shores of Newfound Lake in New Hampshire, in the foothills of the White Mountains, your child can enjoy exciting camping adventures, learn life skills, and build new friendships while having tons of fun.

Turn Over a New Leaf at Boys Overnight Camp

Instead of getting stuck in a virtual technology-centered tailspin, our overnight camp program encourages boys to open up and spread their wings. Here, in our unplugged summer camp environment in the backcountry, your son can reconnect with the real world, enjoying time outdoors beneath towering eastern white pines, listening to loons lakeside, spying rambunctious raccoons or witnessing the surreal sounds of foxes at night.

Enjoy New and Exciting Summer Camp Activities

Mowglis offers a wide variety of traditional camp activities. Campers 10 and up manage their own activity schedule, while younger attendees rotate through activities as a group. Learn orienteering and hiking in the woods on White Footed Mouse Trail that passes through our property, winding toward Plymouth Mountain. Try archery or axe throwing. Swim, canoe, kayak, row, windsurf, sail, or learn to operate a traditional crew boat on our expansive waterfront. We offer something for everyone, from serene fishing and woodworking endeavors to adventurous riflery and rock climbing.

Break Away from Stale Summer Routines

After spending the night in our rustic, screened, open-air cabins with other boys his age, your son will begin a day in the life at Camp Mowglis with a bugle call. He’ll dress, tidy his sleep area, brush his teeth, and wash his hands, heading off to a delicious breakfast. While dining with his bunkmates, he’ll choose his free signup activity, selecting from his favorite pastimes or exploring new interests he may not have access to at home. After following up on his assigned camp duties, which rotate daily, he’ll head to his first daily industry period. Each industry lasts two weeks, allowing your child to become proficient in each skill and earn ribbons (like Scout badges).

Following his first industry period, he’ll break for lunch, rest, and digest, then join fellow campers for daily cleanup. Second industry and free period follow. Then it’s time for a refreshing dip in the lake before dinner. Colors ceremony and camaraderie by the evening campfire round out the day. Finally, it’s time for the call to quarters, when your son can retire to his dorm to enjoy his favorite book or a quiet chat with friends before bed.

Take Home More than a Souvenir

When your child gets the chance to try something new at Camp Mowglis, he’ll take home much more than ribbons as rewards, learning:

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.
