To Do and Know Before 2021 Registration

Get ready for another great summer at Two Sentinels!! Below is info about our registration dates, camp dates, and COVID-19 considerations.

Camper Registration Opens Saturday, March 6, 2021 9AM Pacific
The link to Ultracamp is available from our site header and on the Registration page. Full registration instructions as well as answers to common questions can be found here.

Registration Changes for 2021:
Prior to Ultracamp registration for Two Sentinels:

• Register your campers as Girl Scouts on the Girl Scouts site. Do this before Two Sentinels registration begins on March 6! We used to do this for you after camp registration and included the cost as part of your fees. Ultracamp registration will prompt you for your child’s troop number or Juliette number (if they don’t have a troop).
• For detailed instructions on how to register your camper as the correct type of Girl Scout, see Step 1 of the I want to register my camper help section.

During Ultracamp registration:

• Once you start registration in Ultracamp, your spot is reserved for 15 minutes! Please take your time and fill everything out thoroughly.
• Due to the COVID-19 possibility that we might not be able to have camp again this summer, we aren’t requiring camper deposits/fees during initial registration. If you choose to pay these now and we can’t have camp, we’ll refund your paid fees.
• You’ll sign a new COVID-19 agreement as part of the parent permission sections. Plans may change between registration and camp and we may have to institute safety protocols or cancel camp.

After registration:

• If you do not receive a registration confirmation email, you are not finished! Make sure you check out and save your registration.
• If camp happens this summer, fees and Health Forms will be due May 15. 

COVID-19
As with 2020, we are still monitoring the COVID-19 situation and working closely with Girl Scouts of Northern California and our local health department to determine different scenarios that might occur this summer. We are not yet sure what camp will look like this summer or whether it will be possible to run but we remain hopeful. 

We may need to add safety protocols, similar to what we considered for 2020, like routine temperature checks and keeping units together as cohorts or pods and reducing intermingling during activities. We will continue our existing practices that reduce the spread of germs at camp including sleeping outside (weather permitting), hand sanitizer before every meal, and bleaching bathrooms daily and dishes after every meal.
​
We will inform you as soon as we have more information about our operation and safety protocols for this summer. See COVID-19 for latest updates.

The Big Question
What about the unit I registered for in 2020? Can I do that unit in 2021?

• You may register for any unit you are eligible for in 2021 by your grade. Ultracamp will automatically show you only units you are eligible for based on the grade you are entering in Fall 2021. If you are still eligible in 2021 for the unit you signed up for in 2020, you can register for that unit again. 
• Example: If you registered for Rovers in 2020 and are still eligible for Rovers in 2021, you can register for Rovers again in 2021. If you registered for Superpackers in 2020 but are now past the eligible grade for Superpackers in 2021, you can’t register for Superpackers in 2021.
• We are not able to accommodate campers going back and completing units missed due to COVID-19 in 2020 they are no longer eligible for in 2021. We all missed out on things we hoped to do in 2020. Unfortunately, this is another one of those scenarios.

Single-Session Units
First come, first served. Register on Ultracamp. Our camp fills fast. If your unit of choice is full when you go to register (and some units may be full immediately when registration begins), sign up on the waiting list. We try to get as many campers into camp each summer as we can.

Note: Fireflies is a single-session unit but the unit begins 2 days earlier than all other units to accommodate the 6-day trail trip. Campers must arrange their own transportation to camp due to the earlier start date.

Two-Session Units: Trekkers, Superpackers, OSBs
Register on Ultracamp. Then campers must submit an additional application and letter of recommendation due March 21, 2021. Placement will include factors like previous TS experience, camper age, and the supplemental application. All campers applying for these units will need to select a first and second choice. All campers will be notified of their final unit placement by April 4, 2021.

• If you applied to these units in 2020 and are reapplying in 2021 (you must still be eligible by grade in 2021 to reapply), you do need to reregister in Ultracamp but you don’t need to resubmit your supplemental application. We will use your application from 2020.
• Acceptance into these units in 2020 does not guarantee acceptance in 2021.
• OSBs: Register for the session you want to do your OSB training week in, either Session 1 or 2. During your supplemental application in Google Forms, you will tell us if you can return for your 2nd week of staffing training, either Session 2 or 3.

​Camp Dates
Session 1       July 11-18, 2021
Session 2       July 21-28, 2021
Session 3       July 31-August 7, 2021
**Fireflies arrive 2 days early for each session

Volunteer as Full-Session Counselor Staff!
Two Sentinels is run entirely by volunteers! It's a great way to experience for yourself the magic of camp that your kids rave about. Another benefit is our full-session counselor staff get to sign their kids up for camp before public registration. If you would like to apply to be full-session counselor staff, see Volunteer! and register as staff with your kids before Feb 26th. 

We can’t wait to return to our summer home in the mountains and have your daughter join us for a camp experience she will never forget. Camp makes a significant impact in kids’ lives. It’s a place for them to gain confidence, explore new things, and learn about nature and themselves. We thank you for your support by making camp part of your child’s life.

Thanks for all you do and we can’t wait to see you! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email us.
