4 »d Photos Courtesy Va State Library The Civilian Conservation Crops was the most popular New Deal program in Rappahannock, Camps like the one at Beech Spring employed young single men who were out of work. Daily life was patterned after military routines where the corpsmen took turns at kitchen duty, supervised by experienced Army and Navy men (top two photos), and local people with supervisory skills. The camps were composed of semipermanent and permanent structures (bottom 3 pictures) with an emphasis on orderliness, good health and nutrition and hard work. Together, the five camps in the Park built roads, improved fire trails, controlled erosion and fought forest fires. Throughout the state, the 80 CCC camps gave the people of Virginia a $5 million state park system at a cost of only $100,000 to the state.
