Camp Beaver,  Company 1522, SP-3

Camp Beaver was home to Company 1522, SP-3 and was located at Cliffop in Fayette County outside of what is now, Babcock State Park.  Along with Camp Lee (Company 532, SP-6) which was across the road, Camp Beaver worked mainly on developing two state parks, Babcock and Hawks Nest.  Camp Beaver had its start when Company 1522 was transferred from Waterville, Ohio in May, 1934.  The image at right, taken from a Thanksgiving Day Menu in 1936 shows both companies as SP-3. Records show that the two camps were consolidated in 1937 when SP-6 moved across the street into SP-3 facilities.  SP-3 then was terminated.   The  cover story in the first edition of the camp newspaper, The Beaver's Log, is the history of Company 1522 as of July, 1934.

Taken from a 1936 Thanksgiving Day Menu.
