Pinewoods is a dance and music camp located at 80 Cornish Field Road, between Long Pond and Round Pond in Plymouth, Massachusetts, USA, on 31 acres (13 ha) of land.

The camp has several activity buildings and residential cabins which are occupied and used by visiting customers in the summer. Initially known as "Pine Tree Camp", it was founded in 1919 by Helen Osborne Storrow as the first National Girl Scout Leadership Training School.[2] In 1933, the facility was converted for use as a dance camp. The name was changed to Pinewoods Camp in 1935. Storrow died in 1944, and left the property to Lily and Rick Conant, who operated the property until 1976. At that time its ownership was transferred to Pinewoods Camp, Inc., a non-profit that now runs the facility.[2] The Country Dance and Song Society, among other organizations, runs music and dancing educational programs for adults at Pinewoods.

Pinewoods was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[1]
