Wow wow wow! We are family that enjoys summer, but I have to say that my 11-year-old twins had literally their "BEST SUMMER EVER" this past July and August away at Camp Mowglis. Each of them flourished in ways that I had never imagined before, and in ways that they would not have had the chance to do if they'd stayed home. They were challenged and celebrated in this "all-around" camp, while they enjoyed their own personal favorite activities and even areas of developing expertise. We all loved that this was a place where really truly they could just "go play outside" for 7 whole weeks, totally unplugged, learning new skills, meeting kids and counsellors from different parts of the country and even from around the world, taking on new roles of cooperation and responsibility--whether helping with the plants in the greenhouse as one of their daily camp chores, or on the trail in one of the weekly hikes in the nearby White Mountains. We live in a beautiful seaside New England town, 3 doors down from the beach...and yet when it came time to leave, they just didn't want to leave their new friends, the lake and the mountains, the singing and the campfires, the super cool counsellors, the regular rhythms of Camp Mowglis life. As their third year at a sleep away camp (years one and two at a 2-week camp), and in comparison to a variety of specialized day camps in earlier summers, I can easily see how this experience was far superior to all others. THANK YOU CAMP MOWGLIS!!

My sons started going to Camp Mowglis when they were 8 and 12 years old. We live in France and my youngest barely spoke English. The first year, he was signed up for just half the summer. When I came to visit them after 3 weeks, my youngest said that if he couldn't stay until the end of the summer, he would never speak to me again! 10 years later, at age 18, he still goes back as a junior counselor. My oldest has also been a member of the senior staff. Mowglis has been wonderful for my children. In spite of being and all boys camp, there is something maternal about it. Everyone knows everyone, no one gets lost in the crowd, all are taken care of. Many parents are hesitant to send their children to a seven week camp. In seven weeks, kids really have the time to let go of any family problems they might have. They have ample time to try all of the activities and make deep friendships. My children have never thought it too long. In fact, they think that an additional week would be cool. At the end of every summer, I can see how much they have grown up, become more independent and self confident. They have really absorbed the good values that camp teaches. During many summers, my children were able to experience many activities (hiking, camping, axemen-ship,sailing) in a safe and encouraging environment. Speaking of environment, there are no video games, phones, ipods allowed in camp. Children are able to have several weeks without screens in their faces. They can get "unhooked". Social relationships are the priority. As a result, kids make friends for life. Camp is on a beautiful lake surrounded by pines, the staff are as nice as could be and the values that camp exemplifies are humane and respectful of the environment. I highly recommend Camp Mowglis.

As a third generation camper and staff member, I find the program Mowglis offers more important today than ever as it provides boys with an opportunity to explore the outdoors and develop self confidence that can last a life time.

Had a wonderful tour with Director Nick Robbins. Beautiful place and great programs for the campers.

Mowglis is a wonderful institution that nurtures the growth of boys into well rounded young men under the leadership of a rock-solid staff. Memorable life skills are learned in a beautiful, fun and safe environment. Mowglis offers a truly unique experience and creates role models and friendships for life!

Send your child if a boy if a girl send to camp Onaway down the street!
