History
The NYSC program was created as a part of West Virginia's Centennial Celebration in 1963 and was originally intended as a one-time celebration of youth and science.
In 1964, Neil Armstrong presented at the camp, and gave a lecture to the delegates describing NASA's plans to put a man on the moon. 5 years later, just days before he was due to launch on Apollo 11, he sent a telegram to the camp expressing his commendation.
