The Clear Spring Camp, Unit 4 of Civilian Public Service Camp No. 24, often known as the Hagerstown Camp, was located about five miles (eight km) north of Clear Spring on a farm owned by the Mennonite Publishing House, Scottdale, Pennsylvania. Although there were five units in the camp, each was operated independently of the others. Unit 4 was under the direction of the Mennonite Church (MC) and the Soil Conservation Service. It was opened in the spring of 1942. Two schools were held here for the campers, a farm and community school early in 1944 and a Christian workers' school beginning in November 1944.
