                    General Camp Information

Fast Facts:

  • Founded in 1926 by Pauline Bray Fletcher as a convalescent camp for black women and children.  Mrs. Fletcher was the first African American registered nurse in the state of Alabama, a source of great pride for those close to her who helped establish the camp.

  • Early supporters of the Camp became the Youth Service League which operated the camp for many years after Mrs. Fletcher was no longer able to run the camp.

  • n 1981 Camp Fire began leasing the camp.  It was operational only during the summer months for residential camp and was not recognized as having strong presence in the community .

  • In 2003 the Youth Service League made the decision to merge into Camp Fire USA Central Alabama Council in order to preserve the camp, it's property and heritage of service to youth and families.  Camp Fire became owner of the property.

  • In 2006, the growth/development process began to restore and build the property and facilities, and to increase the programs and services of Camp Fletcher.
