NP-3 Camp, Company 582, was established on February 9, 1934. It was located on Joppa Ridge. The enrollees of this camp were responsible for fire hazard reduction for thousands of acres, repaired a vacant log cabin to be used as a fire patrol shelter, were responsible for fire suppression and fire patrol, and manned two lookout fire towers in their area. The enrollees also helped in the construction of cave trails, and on the surface were responsible for trail maintenance and fence removal and demolition of undesirable buildings. Enrollees assisted hired professionals in the field as drivers, checking weather observations, etc.
NP-3 Camp was disbanded in 1938.
