Group Camp 7: A Dive into its History and Pioneers

4/6/2021

0 Comments

 
Join Ranger Kalen for part two of the Group Camp 7 series to learn about the history of the site and the pioneers who led the way.

Group Camp 7 was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps and was in use until the 1970s. After opening, Group Camp 7 was designated for use by African-Americans at the time. In addition to this, the site also hosted several summer camps that were operated by local church groups here in Virginia.

​We will take a closer look at the history of the site and the leaders who made it possible.
