Pinewoods Camp, in Plymouth, MA, nestles into a wooded area between Long Pond and Round Pond, both available for swimming. Classes are held in dance pavilions. The fantastic parties and delicious meals that are an ESS tradition take place in a camp house and dining hall at the edge of Long Pond. Housing is primarily in rustic cabins. Campers do simple chores, such as setting tables, to help keep costs down.

The cost: $330 for adult members of RSCDS and CDS Boston Centre, $345 for non-members. Ages 13-17 (must be accompanied by parent or guardian), $260 for members, $275 non-members.

Some work exchange positions are available.

Apply SOON to ensure your space at ESS 2010!
