National Camps Corporation

The National Camps Corporation Ltd was a British government-funded non-profit organisation created in pursuance of Section 1 of the Camps Act 1939. The role of the corporation was as the "operative company for England and Wales." "The only functions of the Corporation in regard to the schools are the maintenance and management of the camps." Originally, the idea was that "the camps were set up for periods of temporary occupation in Summer-time." Following the declaration of World War II, it was decided that the camps would be "for permanent occupation all the year round."
