In 1956 the Mount Emily Lumber Company donated their logging camp to the Blue Mountain Conservative Baptist Assn. This became their Camp Elkanah which is located near Starkey, OR about 17 miles southwest of Hilgard on Highway 244. Several of the camp buildings are built on Great Northern freight cars purchased in 1925.
