HISTORY
Benguet Governor William F. Pack has thought of building a vacation camp for teachers in Baguio City in 1907 which reaped the Teacher’s Camp that is still standing mighty and tall until today. In April 1908, this was opened and the first activity held was the Baguio Teachers’ Assembly.
It served as a vacation home for teachers visiting from outside of the city. Through the years, facilities, dormitories, and cottages were built. Funds were used to build Benitez Hall, Ladies Hall, Teacher’s Hall, Tavera Hall, and White Hall.
In 1936, Philippine Military Academy cadets sought shelter in this place until their growing numbers forced them out and put them to their current site in Fort Del Pilar.
This place has an expansive outdoor areas and recreational amenities. It has a superb panoramic sceneries with timeless architecture scattered around and endless sights of tall pine trees. The paths are also well-maintained.
It was built a long time ago that this place already witnessed numerous stories of triumph and failure. Just like during the World War II, Japanese used this place to imprison hundreds of people.
It was said that many people were killed and beheaded here, hence, the stories about spirits and headless ghosts wandering around the camp.
