Abstract

The Civilian Conservation Corps, particularly in Pennsylvania, was challenged in its implementation of education in its camps. The challenges faced by the program in Pennsylvania revolve around civilian and military conflicts, administrative differences, and educational differences of the enrollees. By looking at the implementation of the programs and the challenges presented to the program the educational aspects of the programs are laid out and examined.
