A speciality school to train chefs and bakers in Lassen County, years ago? It did exist briefly, but neither a public or private institution. Enrollees had to be a part of the Civilian Conservation Corp. The Secret Valley Camp held one special training. It was a four week course in food sanitation and preparation.
Generally, most people associate the CCC’s with manual labor associated with public works projects. There was another element to the CCC program. Many of the enrollees had sparse educations. In the evenings, the camps held a wide variety of educational courses. Interestingly, at Secret Valley, one of the popular courses dealt with first aid.
