NEIGHBORING BOYS CAMPS

Since the camp’s founding in 1911, Onaway families have sent brothers to Camps Pasquaney and Mowglis during the summer. Although neither camp is directly affiliated with Camp Onaway, both camps share the philosophy of personal growth and development. All three camps have the same calendar so that brothers and sisters can be dropped off, visited and picked up on the same weekends.

Brief excerpt from Pasquaney’s website:

Since 1895, Pasquaney has pursued the goal set by its founder, Edward Simpson Wilson: “To provide a healthful and natural life in the woods, a life which will make boys strong, confident, …self-reliant and efficient, able to do and think for others as well as themselves.” We pursue this goal beneath towering white pines, on a mountainside above Newfound Lake, one of the clearest lakes in the United States.

Pasquaney concentrates in three areas: competence, character, and community . With their days full of skits, sports, hikes, singing, shop projects, and nature hikes, boys learn from the example of their counselors and fellow campers in an atmosphere of challenge and fun. These counselors and campers encourage each boy to develop his best self and show him how both he and his community benefit from that effort.

 

 

 

 

Just up the road from Camp Onaway, and also on Newfound Lake, Camp Mowglis offers a wonderful, unplugged and authentic summer camping experience for boys ages 7 to 15. Sessions run from 3-weeks for 7 to 9 year-olds and 4 to 7 weeks for boys 10 to 15. Crew, tennis, hiking, fencing, rock-climbing are just a few of the Mowglis’ activities.
