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.
