The evening dances will be a mix of English country dancing, and contras and squares. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, evening dances will be preceded by music for couple dancing. Pinewoods is a traditional dance and music camp located near Plymouth, Massachusetts. Open-air, wooden-floored pavilions are used for dance activities, and most social events are held at the camphouse. There is an open-air dining hall and campers are housed in small cabins scattered throughout the woods.
