Outdoor Leadership Camp for Boys 15-16
Veterans of summer camp know the multitude of benefits it offers young boys, from personal development and independence to friendship and teamwork. However, leadership development is an incredible advantage of overnight camps that frequently goes overlooked.
For boys who want to cultivate their leadership skills, Camp Mowglis offers the Yearling program. This three-week developmental experience is open to Mowglis graduates aged 15-16, as well as those new to Mowglis who want to develop their leadership potential.
Building Skills for a Successful Future
As teens head into the adult world, becoming community leaders and taking on new career roles, the skills they develop over their years at Camp Mowglis ensure success.
- Independence
Taking on a leadership role at our camp pushes teens out of their comfort zone, putting them in unexpected and challenging situations. Through experiences ranging from resolving squabbles to managing injuries, they will grow in confidence and develop sound decision-making skills, even when alone or under pressure. - Leading Others
Mowglis’ Yearlings lead campers through every camp experience, from scheduling activities and managing bathroom breaks to carrying out skills evaluations and monitoring event safety. Throughout this process, they learn how to recognize the potential in younger campers, inspiring them to succeed. These hard-earned and highly sought organizational and management skills will serve them well in adulthood. - Teamwork
Mowglis Yearling attendees are adept at finding flexible, creative solutions to life’s daily challenges. Working with others for the betterment of the group breaks self-serving habits, opening the eyes of teens to the value of compromise and investing in others. As they lead younger campers, they will clearly see how the group’s success empowers individual campers, builds confidence, and forges lasting bonds.
A Fun, Fast Paced, Challenging Program
Located in the woods of New Hampshire near Maine and Vermont, just 3 hours from Boston, and 5-6 hours from New York and Pennsylvania, Camp Mowglis provides teens the opportunity to immerse themselves in nature.
