Camp Venture

Camp Venture is a location in the Mire region of Appalachia in 2102.

Background
Camp Venture was a pre-War survival skills training facility. It was the Appalachian regional facility for 'Endurance and Survival Training of the Virginias', or V.E.S.T.

Sometime before 2102, the camp was turned into a Brotherhood of Steel forward operating base, or FOB, receiving government aid drops on the Vertibird landing pad. This camp was used primarily to train incoming recruits into the Brotherhood, with many of them dropping out or leaving. After the Brotherhood lost all the vertibots and started running out of housing space, they relocated their headquarters to the Allegheny Asylum. By 2102, all the bunk houses outside the perimeter wall were falling apart and the interior was overrun by Scorched.

Before the opening of Vault 76, the Brotherhood outfit stationed at the encampment fled from the camp to defend Fort Defiance in a final attempt to hold off the Scorched. Only holotapes remain from their struggles throughout Appalachia, describing the horrors of the Scorched along with tensions between Responders and Free States.
