A good portion of each Regular Mowglis Day is spent participating in Industries. Industries are made up of a core of 16 specialized activities.  Each is taught in to small groups by a capable and caring staff selected for their expertise in each area. Boys choose their industries and work towards achieving  “ribbons” or “husky marks” which acknowledge their accomplishments.  There are also a number of intermediate “tests” easily achieved by younger boys that serve as way points for those working toward their ribbons.

In addition to Industries, there are many other activities. In the afternoon “open period”  the counselor in charge organizes a function for the whole camp to enjoy. This is often the time when team sports take place, as well as counselor hunts, capture the flag, or some other problem solving and leadership games. Afterwards, every boy heads to the Waterfront for an afternoon soak. Newfound Lake, one of the clearest and cleanest lakes in the US, is uncommonly warm and inviting. Nothing is more refreshing for boys and staff alike than to catch a swim before dinner.

There’s a portion of the regular Mowglis day when everyone contributes to the camp community. After breakfast every boy spends a half hour fulfilling a “duty” that helps maintain the property. After lunch, they’ll spend a half-hour making their bed and tidying up their living area. These periods of light work teaches teamwork and responsibility. The boys know that when the work is done the fun begins!

Every evening after dinner our Campfire programs feature singing and special presentations by staff or visiting alumni. It’s a quiet time that gives everyone a chance to relax and reflect. After the “Good Night Song” the boys head to their dormitories and prepare for bed. Staff will read for a short time before “Taps” is played.

Industries, Soaks, Open Periods, Duties, Evening Programs; these all make up the regular days, but not all the days are regular at Mowglis. Our Trip Program and our Crew/Rowing Program really shape who we are and provides some of the most defining memories of the summer.

Our structured camp environment offers many choices and provides boys with many opportunities to grow, learn and achieve. Boys move easily from one activity to another throughout the day by a series of bugle calls that they very soon come to recognize. The days are full without being harried, and active without being exhausting. The summer passes all too quickly!
