Bucșoaia Camp used to be one of the largest school camps in Romania. The Romanian Revolution in December '89 brought change and slowly the interest for such camps diminished. People would now rather take their kids with them on holidays. In the mid 2000s it was abandoned completely. The camp was built in 1936 and was used by scouts until the 2nd World War, when it was converted into a military camp. Then the communists took over and the place was repurposed as a school camp, probably one of the largest in Romania. Due to a gradual but steady decline of interest in places like these (school camps were abandoned in favor of individual family holidays), the camp closed in 2005 and the ownership was transferred to the Frasin City Hall. Lacking funds and with no external support, the city left the camp as it was, without even the most basic security in place. Thus, the buildings and camp facilities were vandalized and still remain unattended to this day. Old messages can be seen written on walls and furniture, as an interesting testament to what once happened here.
