In honor of National Park Week, Teaching with Historic Places (TwHP) introduces a new online lesson plan, "Camp Misty Mount," tells the story of this Maryland camp's creation by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) during the New Deal era of the 1930's. Today located within Catoctin Mountain Park, this lesson plan concentrates on explaining the important role forests play in local economies, and describes the concept of rustic architecture and why this style was so well suited for the construction of Camp Misty Mount. Additionally, the lesson plan outlines the tasks completed at Misty Mount by the Works progress Administration and explains why this government program had both local and national significance. Written by Debra Mills, a Park Ranger at Catocin Mountain Park, the lesson plan, complete with map, photographs and other study materials, is available to educators online at www.cr.nps.gov/nr/twhp
