About Pinewoods Camp

Pinewoods Camp has been the home of the CDSS's summer programs since 1933. Located on 25 acres of woodlands near Plymouth, Massachusetts, it provides the setting for educational vacations filled with music and dance. Spacious, wooden dance pavilions are nestled among the pines. Cozy cabins offer accommodations near two beautiful lakes ideal for swimming, canoeing and relaxing. Gatherings, parties and concerts are held in the Camphouse. The Dining Hall offers delicious meals and a congenial atmosphere for meeting new friends. Both the Dining Hall and the Camphouse are on the water's edge and, with their large stone fireplaces, provide a warm welcome in cool weather.

Plan your packing so that you can carry things to your cabin over narrow paths. Carts are available in the parking areas to help with loading or unloading.

Pinewoods is about a one hour drive from Boston, MA and about five hours from New York, NY. It is accessible by train, bus and van service.

Housing at Pinewoods

Most housing is in double-occupancy cabins with bathrooms close by. There are some buildings with several single rooms, as well as a few houses with a variety of bedrooms and bathrooms. Double cabins tend to be quieter than singles or houses.

General housing categories are:
Quiet or party areas
Double or single occupancy
Double cabin
Building with bathroom
Specific area or building

Housing is assigned in the month before camp starts. Space is limited; we can't guarantee that all specific requests will be filled. Requests may be made on the Registration Form or with information sent later. For Family and Campers' Weeks, housing will be assigned based on ages of family members; most children over six are assigned a roommate in a cabin near their parents.
