The 1963 General Assembly appropriated funds to establish a tem-
porary forestry camp at Victor Cullen State Hospital (now Victor
Cullen School). This was an immediate way to help relieve the over-
crowding of the juvenile institutions since no construction was neces-
sary. It opened on April 1, 1964, with facilities for 50 boys. During
the months of the fiscal year 1966 that this camp operated, the aver-
age daily population was 42 8 boys (Chapter 845, Acts of 1963).
The 1964 General Assembly appropriated funds to establish a fourth
permanent camp at Backbone Mountain in Garrett County with facili-
ties for 35 boys (Chapter 159, Acts of 1964). This camp opened on
May 23, 1966, at which time the staff and boys were transferred from
the temporary camp at Victor Cullen to the permanent camp at Back-
bone Mountain, approximately eight miles from Westernport on Rte. 135.
