Camp White, Company 2595, F-20
Camp White was occupied by CCC Company 2595 on July 1, 1935 and located about 2 miles from Onego in Pendleton County. The camp closed in late October of 1937.

Located near what is now the Seneca Rocks-Spruce Knob recreation Area in a mountainous, highly forested area, the main mission of Co 2595 was forest management support. As such, it was designated as F-20 and projects included fire tower construction, road-building and development of trails in this recreational area.

The camp site was located near Route 28 about one-half mile from Seneca Creek in the foreground of the Allegheny Front. Men of this CCC company also were attached to Camp Thornewood from time o time for mission support work.
