BELONGING

unique experience that gives children and teens

that last a lifetime.
CAMP MOWKAWOGAN
We tipped our hats to the past and chose a
name for our camp from the local Native
Americans, but wanted to look to the
future at the same time. After much debate
we chose the name MOWKAWOGAN—
the Abenaki word meaning community.
Our camp introduces campers to traditional
summer camp activities, Preparing them
to become active members in today’s
community as they learn grow and discover.
