About the Camp
The Judah
P. Benjamin Camp was founded in 2012, to
continue and expand upon the principles
of the visionary leaders and
masterminds behind Hillsborough County
Confederate Memorial Park.
As our
namesake, the Judah P. Benjamin Camp
wishes to use intellect, innovation,
audacity and commitment in our duty to
our membership in the exercising of “The
Charge” of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans.
The Camp's "On fire" enthusiasm for
fulfilling "The
Charge" has resulted in
membership growth and has caused
recognition of the Camp and its members
since the Camp's founding.
The Camp's
2014 Year End Report details the
past year's activities.
Following is a sampling of some of the
recognition the Camp has received.
