Why New York Boys Should Attend Camp Mowglis in New Hampshire

Are you looking for a boys’ overnight summer camp in NY? Mowglis overnight summer camp program for boys in New Hampshire offers a top-notch, authentic camping experience for children ages 7 to 15, about the same distance away as the NY Finger Lakes. Why should New York boys attend Camp Mowglis in New Hampshire?

It’s Good to Have Some Space

Time away from family creates opportunities for new experiences. Our overnight summer camp’s location gives Upstate New York boys the opportunity to see more of the country, and New York City boys the ability to connect with nature while enjoying fun traditional camp activities in a safe, supervised environment.

Our beautiful campus covers 160 acres across the pristine shores of Newfound Lake, surrounded by forest in the foothills of the White Mountains. While away, he will enjoy freedom surrounded by the vast wide open, growing in independence as he learns to manage daily decisions and tasks on his own, like choosing activities during unstructured periods at camp, while managing daily responsibilities.

Unplugging from Technology and Plugging in to Real Life

Mowglis’ technology-free overnight camping program forces boys to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life, like beautiful weather, interesting animals, delicious food, and fun activities with friends. Without technological (or parental) distraction or escape, your son will learn to meet face to face, improving social and teambuilding skills. As days go by and children share daily experiences, surmounting obstacles, relaxing fireside, and retiring together in our screened, open-air dormitories, positive, lasting relationships are fostered.

Learning Simple and Important Life Lessons

Living unplugged, outdoors in the wilderness allows your child to reconnect with nature and get his body back on a schedule in sync with the rhythms of life. Rather than the 24/7 monotony of technology and city life, your child will undergo a recalibration. Sun, water, weather, food, and rest become essential. Needs versus wants become clear. This adjustment has a powerful effect on the body, reducing stress and promoting a sense of wellbeing.

Making Friends Free of the Usual Social Expectations

New environments offer your child the opportunity to meet new people and build relationships free of the usual social expectations. Our limited enrollment of just 110 boys ensures it’s not overwhelming. It’s amazing to watch our boys thrive on the camaraderie time “alone” in wilderness brings. At our sleepaway camp, the past is wiped clean, only current contributions matter. Summer camp friendships are like no other. As children grow and overcome obstacles together, their true colors shine, creating a path to meaningful, lasting friendships.

Taking Risks in a Safe Environment

Camping activities challenge even the toughest kids both physically and mentally. Mother Nature offers a setting with inherent risks where trial and error are normal and acceptable. At Mowglis, kids get the opportunity to test themselves in a safe environment. With each accomplishment your son realizes on wilderness trips and when exploring industries like hiking, swimming, rowing, and archery, his confidence will grow, instilling within him a feeling of empowerment when he achieves feats previously believed impossible, and driving the desire for new challenges and experiences.

Don’t let your son miss out on an amazing summer camp experience. Find out why so many New York boys love attending Camp Mowglis in New Hampshire.

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.
