COVID Guidelines

Pinewoods Camp, Inc
COVID Guidelines for Campers
Updated 1.16.26

Here are the updated COVID guidelines for attending Pinewoods Camp for the 2026 season. We reserve the right to make changes to this policy in response to potential changes in COVID conditions. 

Program Providers may choose to apply their own additional guidelines that may be stricter than what we outline here, and, if so, we will support their decisions. But at a minimum, to attend Camp, we require the following:

VACCINATIONS

COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters are not required. However, we do encourage all eligible campers to get the most recent vaccine/booster.

TESTING (Note: Pinewoods will not be providing free COVID tests in 2026)

  • We strongly encourage testing prior to departing for Camp, especially for those traveling long distances. 
  • Campers must test either upon arrival at Camp or up to 3 hours prior to arrival to expedite the check-in process.
  • If anyone tests positive at Camp, further testing may be required. For this reason, please bring extra tests to Camp.
  • A limited number of COVID tests will be available for purchase at Camp.

MASKING:

  • Masks are optional, however they are strongly encouraged for the first 24 hours of each session. In this community, masks are welcome for as long as an individual wants or needs to wear them.
  • Please bring a supply of high-filtration masks (N-95, KN-95, etc) in case COVID conditions change and wearing masks is required.
  • If a camper/campers test positive for COVID, campers, PP staff, and crew may be required to wear high-filtration masks.
  • Campers may be asked by PCI to wear high-filtration masks whenever engaging in any camper jobs in the kitchen or dining hall at PCI’s discretion.

PRIOR TO COMING TO CAMP

  • By attending Camp, campers and Program Providers agree to the points on the Pinewoods COVID Attestation. Anyone not able to say “yes” to each point should have a conversation with their Program Provider.
  • In the week prior to arriving at Pinewoods, we strongly encourage incoming campers and Program Provider staff to exercise caution by wearing high-filtration masks in indoor public areas (grocery stores, movie theaters, concerts, public transportation, dances, etc).  
  • Individuals from different households carpooling to Camp or taking the airport shuttle are highly encouraged to mask while in transit.

We look forward to dancing, singing, and enjoying music with you this season.
