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 two CCMC concerts: faculty concert on Saturday evening, and student 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.

A central part of the CCMC experience is sharing a cottage. For most, living rooms double as classrooms. If you prefer not to be part of this arrangement please let us know.
