The Cape Cod Mandolin
Camp will be held in Sandwich, Massachusetts -- Cape Cod's oldest
town, and one of its most popular resorts. The weather is ideal
in September! Families are encouraged to attend. There's plenty
to do for everyone, even if only one family member is participating
in the Camp.
East Sandwich Grange
This is a 19th-Century
community center, renovated in 1937, and approximately two miles
from the Oceanside Cottages. It's in excellent condition, and
full of Cape Cod flavor.
The Grange Hall will
be the site of the student ensemble performances on Sunday afternoon.
The student concert is free and open to the public.
The
Grange Hall is directly adjacent to the Benjamin Nye House, one
of Sandwich's historical sites.
Housekeeping Cottages
Accommodations will
be in housekeeping cottages at East Sandwich Beach. These are
comfortable rental cottages directly on one of Cape Cod's most
scenic beaches. The cottages are equipped with complete kitchens.
Complimentary breakfast and a simple sandwich lunch will be provided,
as well as a community dinner on Saturday.
NEW FOR 2007: due to
demand for the gorgeous views, we're offering more direct oceanfront
housing. The cottages may be short drive from the main camp activities,
but everything is close together and parking is easy. During
registration you may request housing within walking distance
if you prefer.

but comfortable. Most cottages have two or three bedrooms (maximum
4 or 6 persons per cottage. When registering for housing please
choose either:
Single occupancy: you will have a private room
in a two- or three-bedroom cottage. Bathroom, kitchen and living
room are shared.
Double occupany: you

three-bedroom cottage.

are also available.
Classrooms
Some cottage living
rooms will double as classrooms during the day. Please specify
if you do NOT wish to stay in one of these cottages.
Meals
A simple lunch and Saturday
night dinner will be provided. We'll bring breakfast supplies
for preparation in your own cottage -- all cottages have full
kitchens. There is no central dining facility.

restaurants within one mile of the cottages. There's also an
excellent variety of restaurants within just a few minutes' drive.
