Camp Long ELC

The camp, including the lodge, was built by the City of Seattle and the Federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) starting in 1937.

SCHURMAN ROCK

The climbing rock, the first of its kind in the world, was designed by Clark Schurman and built by the WPA (workers thought they were dealing with a “mad-man”). Clark Schurman was the chief climbing guide at Mt. Rainier and wanted a facility built so kids living in an urban environment could learn and practice safe climbing.

CABINS

The names of the ten cabins honor Washington peaks, including Constitution, Pinnacle, Olympus, Glacier, St. Helens, Constance, Pilchuck, Rainier, Adams, and Baker.
