Camp Long
View the City’s policies at www.seattle.gov/digital. Clark Schurman was the chief climbing guide at Mt. Helens, Constance, Pilchuck, Rainier, Adams, and Baker.
Located in West Seattle, this 68-acre park offers visitors an opportunity to enjoy nature, hike in the forest, camp overnight in rustic cabins, rock climb, and team build on a challenge course. 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”). 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.
