The Camp was originally envisioned by Rabbi Raphael Levine and Father William Treacy, who were the principal panelists (along with various Protestant ministers) on KOMO-TV’s “Challenge” show (1960-1974). The Camp was established in 1968 with donations from their friends in Seattle’s Rotary Club, and is available to be used only by non-profit charitable, educational and religious groups.

The vision of the priest is for members of the human family to build a retreat and conference center in a setting conducive to creative thought. And, that from different backgrounds and experiences, we would listen to, learn from, encourage and support one another, as together we prepare ourselves and our children to more fully live in the 21^st century.

The dream of the rabbi was for all people of the Northwest to live in harmony and helpful cooperation, guiding one another along life’s path as members of the human family. And, having been created by the Living God, we would accept responsibility for our brothers and sisters.

Both Rabbi Levine and Father Treacy have written autobiographies. Click here for more information.
