Camp Mowglis is a nonprofit residential camp for boys. Founded in 1903, it is one of the oldest summer camps in the United States. It is located in Hebron, New Hampshire, on the shores of Newfound Lake. It's owned by the nonprofit Holt Elwell Memorial Foundation. Mowglis was founded by Elizabeth Ford Holt and the camp includes some themes from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. The camp was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.
The symbol of the camp is a wolf cub. The Mowglis Mountain and its Mowglis Trail in New Hampshire get their name from the camp. Many of the surrounding trails were maintained by the camp's boys.
