|
The Angelos site occupies the land of the Chinook
From the Chinook Nation's Website: "The modern Chinook Indian Nation consists of the Clatsop and Kathlamet of what is now Oregon and the Lower Chinook, Wahkiakum and Willapa of Washington State. Our five historically important Tribes have existed since time immemorial in our aboriginal territory at the mouth of the Columbia River. It is here that our Chinook families welcomed Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean and helped them survive the winter of 1805 and 1806."
The MESD Outdoor School program rents Camp Angelos in the Spring and Fall of each school year. Camp Angelos offers summer camp programs and rental facilities for private events. The Outdoor School program began using the Camp Angelos property in 1991.
