Camp Renaissance[2] was Civilian Conservation Corps camp NP-2 that was established on March 10, 1933,[3] in the Gettysburg Battlefield's Pitzer Woods[4] for reforestation (all 45 tents were blown down by a July 2 "twister").[5] On September 22, 1933, Captain Moran transferred to Camp Renaissance to become the commander,[2] (his 1934 Company 385 of 199 workers was named the best camp/unit in subdistrict 8).[3] The camp with Company #385-C) in Pitzer Woods closed in April 1937[6] (Frank J. Slonaker, former president of the battlefield guide association,[1] had been the camp's service officer).[2]
The Pitzer Woods site was subsequently used for a July 5-9, 1941, encampment of the 71st Coast Artillery Regiment (Anti-Aircraft);[3][4] for a July 28, 1941, 68th Coast Artillery (AA) day camp;[5] and for the 1943-4 Camp Sharpe training installation.[7]
