Camp Alumni as well as interested friends of the College Cevenol formed a non-profit, tax deductible 501(c)(3) foundation in 1952 to raise money for needy students. The AFCC has sponsored and placed young people at both the school during the scholastic year and the summer camp.

For more information on the work camp, contact the Director of Admissions, Dr. Jonathan Schrott. Dr. Schrott's daughter was a camper and Assistant Work Camp Director and he has biked extensively in the Chambon area.  He can be reached via email (see our contact page).

The school and nearby villages rescued over 5,000 refugees during World War II. Their story has been memorialized in the US Holocaust Memorial and in Jerusalem. Weapons of the Spirit, a movie by Pierre Sauvage, tells the heroic story. Phillip Hallie wrote about why these villagers resisted evil in Lest Innocent Blood Be Shed.
