Title	Tony Grove Forestry Camp, late 1940s
Description	Sitting down for a meal at the Tony Grove Forestry Camp, late 1940s. The College offered summer camp as early as 1928, however it appears that one was never held, at least on the Tony Grove Site, until 1936. Students attended camp (it was mandatory for all forestry students) at the old CCC Camp at Tony Grove beginning in that year. The camp (barracks and a mess hall) had not been well maintained after its original construction as a CCC camp (probably 1933) and after the first couple of summers much of the original site was razed and burned. In 1938 the College and the Forest Service entered an agreement to construct some new buildings, with the Forest Service putting up the lion's share of the funding. The College was responsible for maintaining the site during the spring and summer from April through October, and Summer Camp became a regular part of the forestry curriculum thereafter. Camp was suspended during WWII, but resumed in 1946. The last Summer Camp was held in 1999; after that year, it was discontinued, due largely to the loss of a main building to fire in April 1998. The Natural Resources Field Station is still open for educational programs as well as youth programs in the summer. The Department of Environment and Society from the College of Natural Resources now operates the field station which is used by groups such as the Cache Valley Search and Rescue, Edith Bowen Laboratory School fifth graders, etc. Size of photograph: 4.75 x 7.25 in.
