Much credit must be given to the group Northeast Ohio Cooperative extension Service county agents and lay people of the late 1930's who had the foresight and took much of their own time to locate and develop 4-H Camp Whitewood.  It remains as a lasting tribute to them and to Mr. Tom White who donated the original parcel of land to establish camp.
