Teacher's Camp

         Teachers camp is a training center for teachers from different parts of the Philippines. It is located along Leonard Wood Road in Baguio. Inside the camp there are classrooms, dormitories, cottages, dining areas, administrative offices, assembly halls and there is an athletic oval. It was established on December 11, 1907. Governor William Pack conceived the idea of putting a vacation camp in Baguio City. In April 6 to May 30, 1908, the first Teachers Vacation Assembly was held. The first building was built in 1911 so as the roads. In 1912, cottages for the officials of the Bureau of Education and one for the camp director were constructed. Eventually there were more appropriations for more assembly areas resulting in Benitez Hall, Ladies Hall, White Hall, Tavera Hall and Teachers Hall. In 1937 the Philippine Military Academy occupied a large portion of Teachers' Camp moving from its location at Camp Henry T. Allen to accommodate more cadet trainees. It was during that time 1937 that General Luna Hall was built. After the war, PMA was re-established at its former location at Camp Henry T. Allen before it moved to its permanent location at Fort Gregorio del Pilar. During the Japanese occupation the forces use the camp as their hospital. It was left damaged after the war but it was repaired during 1947.
