Hungarian Weekend at Pinewoods Camp

COVID Guidelines
 

  • Pinewoods Camp, Inc. (PCI) has developed Covid protocols for 2025 camp sessions.
  • All the policies, and PCI's rationale, are on the PCI COVID guidelines page.
  • The Covid environment is continuously evolving; these guidelines may change before and during the camp season.
  • If you have any questions about the COVID policy, contact the FAC office by email or call 781-438-4387.


    • (updated April 2025)

    Vaccinations and Boosters

  • COVID-19 vaccinations and boosters are not required for the 2025 season. However, we do encourage all eligible campers to get the most recent vaccine/booster.


    • Prior to Camp

  • By attending Camp, campers and program providers agree to the points on the PCI 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 staff to exercise caution by wearing high-filtration masks in indoor public areas (grocery stores, movie theaters, concerts, public transportation, dances, etc).


    • Pre-Camp Testing

  • We encourage testing prior to departing for camp, particularily for those traveling long distances.


    • At-Camp Testing*

  • * PCI will supply all the necessary test kits at no charge *
  • PCI is requiring that all campers and staff take a Covid test (rapid antigen or NAAT):
    1.   upon arrival at Camp
    2.   24 hours after arriving at Camp
    3.   48 hours after arriving at Camp
  • For campers staying over from the Weekend session to the FolkDays session (or, similarly, staying from the FolkDays to the J4 session), you are NOT required to observe the testing regime unless you leave camp.


    • Masks and Social Distancing

  • Masks are optional for the 2025 season 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, 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.
