The Wanderers unit is the first real introduction to backpacking, aimed at girls with little to no backpacking experience. The highlight of this unit is the 3 day, 2 night backpacking trip where the girls learn and practice basic backpacking skills including: bear bagging, outdoor cooking, water purification, and orienteering (reading a topographical map with compass).

Girls will be given instruction on backpacking skills and techniques in preparation for their hike by experienced backpacking staff. The focus of this unit may center on backpacking, but the girls get the full camp experience with the camp activities that make Two Sentinels great!

The Wanderers unit is the perfect place to try out backpacking in a safe and fun environment. Wanderers usually embark on a beautiful trail loop that takes them through alpine meadows in full bloom, clear granite lakes, and the breathtaking views of the High Sierra. 

On the trail, campers will make friends, see the stars, write trail songs, and create lifelong memories. After this unit, don’t be surprised when your girl comes home hooked on backpacking!
