Self Care Sunday
2024-10-20 18:00 - 22:00 UTC | 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 learn about natural history. Camp Long was once a little used corner of the West Seattle Golf Course. In 1937, a group comprising Park Board member Archie Phelps, Judge William Long, Ben Evans of the Parks Department and Clark Schurman, a well-known Scout leader, expert mountaineer and wilderness camp developer, embarked on a mission. They wanted to acquire and develop this land to make it into a place for organized scouting groups to learn camping skills. They were joined by a committee of representatives of youth groups, City Council members, other concerned citizens and supportive agencies and councils. Together they worked hard to create Camp Long and protect its natural beauty.
Join us for a free community event focused on self-care and well-being! Hosted by Camp Long, we will offer a chill blend of self care activities to promote well being, community gathering, and nature's natural calm. Activities will include creating your own mental health first aid kit, making artwork with nature, and getting to know more about yourself and the community around you. Mark your calendars - we hope to welcome you there!
