The Second Hundred Years
Endowment
Campaign
Pete St. John,
HEMF Trustee and
Campaign Chair
This is an exciting time for
Mowglis as we enter the
public phase of our $3.5 million
endowment campaign.
After an intense outpouring
of alumni rallying and support,
resulting in hundreds
of thousands of dollars
invested in the camp's program
and physical plant, we
have embarked on this
quest to secure Mowglis’
future. Mowglis Trustees
and alumni have already
raised a little over $2 million
for the camp's endowment
in the "silent" phase
of the campaign, and now
we are asking for your help
in achieving our goal.
For over 100 years,

Mowglis has been a major
educational influence on the
lives of countless young men
and boys who have discovered
the appeal of a day's
rigorous hike up Cardigan,
or the breathtaking excitement
of Crew Day, or the
ability to use an axe with
confidence. Their memories
of living together with the
other boys and staff and
forming lifetime friendships
with them have kept them
coming back to Mowglis.
They have sent their sons to
camp. They still hum the
camp songs, and they still
remember staring into the
campfire during the Moment
of Silence.

$3.5 million
Our goal of $3.5 million was
determined by assessing our
annual financial needs above and
beyond what income from tuition
and the annual appeal can cover.
$1 million will be apportioned
for scholarship assistance, which
can be expected to yield $50,000
annually to help families, especially
those families with a history
at Mowglis, to provide this most
meaningful educational experience
for their boys.
$2 million will be put into the
William B. Hart Capital Fund,
which is dedicated to maintaining
and improving the camp's substantial
physical plant.
$.5 million will provide additional
operational funds to the
Director to provide the best possible
program for Mowglis.
If moments like these
have kept their meaning for
you, or for someone close to
you, you will understand why
it is so important that we
work together on this monumental
task to preserve and
protect Mowglis for future
generations. We look forward
to your help and participationand
to seeing you soon!
