Baguio City’s Teacher’s Camp is a historic and cultural landmark nestled in the pine-laden hills of the Cordillera mountains. Originally established in 1908 as a training center for Filipino teachers during the American colonial period, it has since become one of the most iconic heritage sites in Baguio City.
Located just minutes from other Baguio City attractions like Mines View Park, Wright Park, and the Baguio Botanical Garden, Teacher’s Camp is a tranquil yet accessible destination for travelers. Its cool climate and peaceful atmosphere make it a popular retreat not just for educators, but also for families and travelers seeking a quiet escape from city bustle. Guests can stay in dormitories or heritage cottages, many of which are open to the public.
Beyond being a retreat center, Teacher’s Camp hosts seminars, youth camps, and sports events. The site also houses the Baguio Museum of the Filipino Teacher and a small amphitheater used for community programs and performances. The open grounds, lined with pine trees and offering panoramic views, are perfect for morning walks or afternoon picnics.
Whether you’re visiting the Summer Capital of the Philippines for a quick getaway or as part of a larger Luzon Highlands adventure that includes the provinces of Sagada and Banaue, Teacher’s Camp is a charming stop.
