Camp CIL

Summary
Camp CIL was a camp in Virginia that trained children born in Orange County or accused of crimes to be soldiers. It operated from 1780 until its first and only usage in 1845. In 1845, it released all of the children there to go fight in the Mexican War. It was known for having massive paperwork problems, often losing files and keeping adults at the camp forever.

Notable Figures
Zachary Taylor spent most of his life living here before being released into the Mexican War.
