Friends of Camp Security is a non-profit organization in York, Pennsylvania dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of Camp Security, a Revolutionary War prisoner-of-war camp. The organization was founded in 2001 by a group of concerned citizens who recognized the importance of preserving the site and its history.

Camp Security was established in 1781 and was used to house British prisoners of war until the end of the war in 1783. The site was rediscovered in the 1980s and since then, Friends of Camp Security has been working to protect and promote the site.

The organization's main goal is to secure the site and turn it into an educational and interpretive center. They also work to educate the public about the history of the camp and its significance to the Revolutionary War.

Friends of Camp Security hosts various events, including lectures, tours, and fundraisers, to raise awareness and funds for the preservation of the site. They also work with local government officials and organizations to secure grants and funding for the project.

Through their dedication and hard work, Friends of Camp Security has become an important part of the community in York, Pennsylvania, and is committed to preserving the history of Camp Security for future generations.
