Camden Hills State Park was largely constructed between 1936 and 1941 by hundreds of young men enrolled in the Civilian Conservation Corps. For their efforts, the “CCC boys” received housing in spartan barracks, three meals a day, and $25 per month ($300/year). They were allowed to keep $5 of their monthly earnings and $20 was sent to their families to help them through the depths of the Great Depression.

​

Our levels of Business Partner participation memorialize those hard-working souls who built the foundation of this park. Your participation builds upon their labors:

​

Small Business Partner (2 CCC's): $600

Sustaining Partner: $1,200

Leadership Partner: $5,000

​

Business Partners will be recognized on the website and will be included in all Friends communications.
