Mission and Values
Camp Two Roads Mission and Values

We strive to provide the tools necessary to empower young women to be confident leaders both in the outdoors and within their communities. We work to broaden their horizon of possibilities so that they have the courage and ability to blaze their own roads in life.

Camp Two Roads respects the individuality of each and every camper and staff member. Equally we ask that campers and their families respect that we are a camp whose focus is on developing strong young women through activities that support women's empowerment. As such we define our camp cabin groups as South, Middle and North Sisters and when addressing the camp we use feminine pronouns.

As we are a camp for girls and young women ranging from 8-18, topics related to religion, politics, romantic relationships or sexual identity are not to be engaged in by staff or campers as they are not universally or developmentally appropriate for every age that we serve.
