CHURCH CAMPS
Camp Sentinel is located in the foothills of the Ossipee Mountain range in Center Tuftonboro, New Hampshire. The Cavendish Baptist is affiliated with and sends several kids to Camp Sentinel. In addition to the scholarships they offer, the Helping Hand Ladies and the church also have some money to help those who need it. We believe money should never be the reason a kid doesn't go to camp.

Established in 1949, Sentinel offers fun, quality Christian overnight and day camp for youth, adults and families. Sentinel hosts year round rustic retreats for groups up to 200 guests (55 in the winter). Sentinel’s group experiences are known for its home cooked meals, attention to detail and Christian hospitality. Amenities include: 5 unique hiking trails, 5 element ropes course with zip line, giant swing, 25 foot tall rock climbing wall, large field, archery range, chapel for up to 200 guests, and more. The camp provides solitude on its 600+ acres and over a mile of water frontage on crystal clear Dan Hole Pond. Sentinel strives to never turn anyone away for the inability to pay for camp.
