Redvale Civilian Conservation Corps Camp Videos

The videos on this page were created in the summer of 2008 by the San Juan Mountains Association in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and with funding from the Colorado State Historical Fun using professional archeaologists and trained volunteers to document the Redvale CCC Camp.

The goal of the project is to produce a comprehensive site assessment that includes historical documentation, archaeological site recordation, and recommendations for management and preservation of the site.

The Redvale Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp is one of the last vestiges of the CCC and their 1930s activities in Dry Creek Basin, Colorado. Today the camp is located on Bureau of Land Management public lands and serves as an unofficial campground and staging area for big game hunters each Fall. There are remnants of structure foundations, several concentrations of artifacts and some unusual stonework. All of these are in danger of being lost.
