Camp Brecksville

Camp Brecksville
Young men in both urban and rural communities had difficulty finding employment during the Great Depression. Most lacked work experience and had not secured a job since leaving school.

A major objective of the CCC was to reclaim the discouraged, hungry and idle youth of America. Young men were sent into nature, fed, put to work, and offered educational opportunities. The camps were designed to strengthen them physically and spiritually, provide work skills, and make them better citizen. | Source: Courtesy of the Ohio History Connection
