Each session has its own unique, exciting events! During Day 7, there
are usually Water Races, a super-duper-special carnival lunch,
afternoon all-camp activities, and an all-camp campfire. There may be
special themed meals, like Game Show Dinner or Bingo Dinner. Sometimes
there's a Luau, sometimes a Wild-West Barbeque. Every session is
different, but every session is fun!
General Activities
Because there are so many fun things to do, we can't guarantee that your camper will experience all of them. If there is something your camper really wants to do, fill out the Camper Questionnaire. We take these seriously and review every single one!
Archery
Units have scheduled times to practice the ancient art
of bow-and-arrows under the eye of a certified instructor.
Waterfront
Two Sentinels is on Lake Kirkwood, a charming
little lake that waits to be explored! Boats
can be taken to the Cove or the Beach, both lovely spots to eat lunch, relax, and
swim. All
waterfront activities are supervised by Red Cross certified lifeguards.
Swimming
A lovely swimming area exists right on camp property, with floating
docks safe to jump off of with a loud splash! Every participant takes a
basic swim test on their first or second day of camp.
Canoeing
The classic summer-camp transport, no week would be complete without a
paddle in a canoe! Though sometimes a little practice is needed, girls
quickly learn to work together to skim across the lake.
Funyaking
Like squat kayaks, these single-person crafts are like a bright
flock of birds waiting to take you across the lake - if you paddle, that
is! Even the youngest campers quickly get the hang of it, and the
funyaks are some of the busiest pieces of equipment in camp!
Hiking
There are many hikes that units can take all around the camp. From the
short walk around the lake, to Reflection Pond above the camp, down to The
Falls, out to Caple’s Lake, across to Caple’s Creek in the meadows, or all
the way up to The Sentinels themselves, units have the opportunity to
spend the morning, afternoon, or all day out on the
trail!
Crafts The Craft Hut
The camp has a craft hut stuffed with things to do! Every unit has scheduled times to go
to the craft hut, but when the craft staff doesn’t have a unit there,
supplies may be requested. Every camper will have the chance to silkscreen
any piece of clothing or fabric they wish, but they must bring it.
Nature
Orienteering, knot-tying, and bug-identification are some of the things campers due in Nature!
Singing
Campers and staff are not left without music without their iPods - in fact, there's more singing than you can shake a stick at! We sing before breakfast, we sing at breakfast, we sing after breakfast - and that's just breakfast!
| Special Programs
Polar Bear Swim
This swim is open to all campers
who want to swim across the lake and back (no more than a
quarter mile) at seven in the morning! After 5 swims, you get an
official Two Sentinels Polar Bear Pin, and after 10 swims, you get a patch!
Welcome Program
There is a program
after dinner the first night on the Dining Deck to help
acquaint campers with camp life. Here the in-camp mail system is explained
and all the staff members are
introduced.
Here is a list of where our campfire ashes have been!
Astronomy
Units can sign up to go to Astronomy Rock with the Nature counselor to
gaze at the night sky uninhibited by light pollution. See the pale glow
that gives the Milky Way its name, find some constellations, create new
constellations!
Wishboat Ceremony
 Making a Wishboat.
Every session ends with an all-camp campfire and a wishboat ceremony, which includes a floating bonfire on the lake. Often the most memorable moment for campers, this ceremony is breathtaking and beautiful.
Badge-Earning Opportunities
All campers
have the opportunity to earn camp-appropriate Girl Scout badges
in their units as well as
the Two Sentinels own Skills and Outdoor Activities Patch (SOAP).
