GREEN RIDGE FORESTRY CAMP FOR BOYS

Waynard O. Federline, Director

Flintstone (Allegany County) Telephone: Green Leaf 8-4372

Green Ridge Forestry Camp for Boys was established in May
1955 as a specialized institution to be operated by the State Depart-
ment of Public Welfare in cooperation with the State Department
of Forests and Parks. It serves 16, 17, and 18 year old boys who
have been committed to either the Maryland Training School For
Boys or Boys' Village; who are in good physical health; and who
are interested in active outdoor living. Green Ridge was created in
the belief that boys could be guided back to good citizenship while
performing valuable work in the conservation of natural resources.
During the first two years of its operation, the camp has served
a total of 243 boys. The average daily population during fiscal
year 1957 was 28 boys.
