St. Helena Camp 76, SP 76, was Letchworth State Park's third Civilian Conservation Corps camp, established during the federal works project of 1933-1942 that sought to relieve unemployment and conserve natural resources during the Great Depression. An advanced attachment of enrollees arrived in May 1934, and for several months lived in tents while wooden barracks were built. The finished camp was dedicated on October 4, 1934, before a crowd of over five hundred that included CCC officials, local dignitaries, and park officials. The camp operated for almost 24 months before closing in the spring of 1936. Afterward, proposals were made for public use of the abandoned camp, and the Wyoming County Fair was held there in the summer of 1936, but because the camps were intended to be temporary, enrollees from the surviving camps razed the buildings in January 1937.
