To Do and Know Before Registration 2022

1/1/2022

1 Comment

 
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, February 5, 2022 9AM Pacific
The link to Ultracamp will be available from our site header and on the Registration page. Full registration instructions as well as answers to common questions can be found here.

Staff and Staff Kid Early Registration Opens Saturday, January 8, 2022 9AM Pacific
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 Jan 27th.  Staff registration closes Jan 27, 2022 at 12PM.
We do our best to accept as many staff as possible, but our site numbers are limited by the Forest Service and staff positions are in high demand. Please be as flexible as possible with your volunteering dates so we can get you and your campers into camp. We consider certifications, experience, special skills, and your children’s placement in staffing decisions. We will notify all staff applicants by no later than Feb 4, 2022 if they have been accepted as staff. If you aren't accepted, you'll need to reregister your kids during public registration.

Changes for 2022
Trekkers and Superpackers is now first-come, first-served like all other units. Campers registering for these units no longer need to submit  a supplemental application and reference letter to be considered. We always try to get as many campers into these units as possible as they are in high-demand. Due to our graduated program, we do prioritize campers ageing out of these units. This means if you register for Trekkers or Superpackers and you have not completed other backpacking units leading up to this level, we may reach out about moving you to a shorter backpacking trip to make room for campers who will age out of these units. Completing the shorter trips beforehand also ensures campers are set up for success on these longer trips.

Prior to Ultracamp Registration for Two Sentinels
  • Register your campers as Girl Scouts on the Girl Scouts site. Do this before you go to register for Two Sentinels! 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 to enter “Independent” for Juliettes (if they don’t have a troop). For boy Tags, enter “boy Tag” at this step. For staff, you'll enter "Adult" at this step.
  • 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.
  • You’ll sign the COVID-19 agreement as part of the staff agreement or parent permission section. Camp plans may change between registration and summer--we will keep you updated.
After Registration
  • If you do not receive a registration confirmation email, you are not finished! Make sure you check out and save your registration.
  • Fees and health forms will be due May 15. Schedule your physical with your doctor ASAP! All campers and staff must have a current health form signed by a physician to attend camp.

COVID-19
As with 2021, 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. At this time, we are confident we will be able to run camp in Summer 2022. 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.

All Units Except OSBs
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: Please sign up on the waiting list for the unit and session you most want to attend so we know where we need to open space. Signing up on multiple waitlists that aren't really an option or desirable for you creates more confusion than it solves.

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.

OSBs
Register on Ultracamp. Then campers must submit an additional application and letter of recommendation due Feb 23, 2022. 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 March 2, 2022.
  • 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 10-17, 2021
Session 2       July 20-27, 2021
Session 3       July 30-August 6, 2021
**Fireflies arrive 2 days early for each session

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.

To Do and Know Before 2021 Registration

2/21/2021

0 Comments

 
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.

2021 Registration Date Change

12/30/2020

0 Comments

 
​What a crazy ride 2020 has been! We hope this email finds you safe at home and settled into the coziness of winter and a new year. We directors know it is time to be thinking about your camp plans for the summer of 2021. Like last year, COVID-19 leaves us unsure what camp will look like this summer. We promise to give you information as we have it and decisions are made. In the meantime, here is some information to get you started.

Staff and Staff/Kid Registration 2021
We are pushing back 2021 camp registration to February 6, 2021 for staff and staff kids. Staff and staff kids register early before public registration opens. 

Public Registration 2021
Camper registration will begin March 6, 2021. We’ll send out more information about registration as we get closer to these dates. 

​We often offer the opportunity to register early for campers whose parents can commit to helping with small but critical volunteer jobs, like bus chaperone. We will send information about public registration and any early registration opportunities via email and on our 
Facebook page as we get closer to registration. 

Two Sentinels Capital Campaign
Camp needs your financial support to fund recent projects. See Support TS if you can help! Thank you for all you have done so far.

We look forward to camping with you under the stars at one of the most special places to us all.
Stay healthy and hopeful!
