The Juvenile Services Administration operates five forestry camps
for boys in cooperation with the State Department of Forests and
Parks. These camps were created by Chapter 370, Acts of 1955. The
camps are combined into a single administrative unit with one budget
and one central business management unit located in Cumberland.
These camps serve older boys received on transfer from the Maryland
Training Schools for Boys, Boys' Village of Maryland, the Victor
Cullen School, and the Maryland Children's Center. Boys selected for
transfer must be at least 15% years of age, must be in good physical
health, and must be interested in an active outdoor work and living
experience.
