The apparent success of the first Boys' Forestry Camp at Green
Ridge prompted the 1956 General Assembly to appropriate capital
funds for two additional camps and operating funds for Camp II
(Chapter 98, Acts of 1956). The first of these two camps is located in
Garrett County just four miles from Lonaconing. It opened in Decem-
ber, 1957, with facilities for 25 boys. During the 1963 fiscal year, the
average daily population was 25.3 boys. For fiscal year 1964, the

This institution was established by Chapter 392, Acts of 1870, as the
House of Reformation for Colored Boys. By Chapter 70, Acts of 1937,
when the property was purchased by the State, it became known as
the Cheltenham School for Boys. The present name was adopted by
Chapter 692, Acts of 1949. The school provides for the care and train-
ing of delinquent boys in the middle age group (chiefly 13 and 14
year old youths). During the 1963 fiscal year it provided care for 549
boys committed to the school and 271 boys who were detained there.
