Camp Abbot

Camp Abbot was a military training center in central Oregon, operational for less than sixteen months during World War II, primarily for training combat engineers. Named after Brigadier General Henry Larcom Abbot, the camp trained over 90,000 soldiers before closing in June 1944. Today, much of the site is part of the Sunriver Resort community, with the historic officers' mess hall, now known as the Great Hall, serving as a venue for conferences and events. The area offers recreational opportunities, including skiing at nearby Mount Bachelor, making it an interesting destination for both tourists and researchers.
