Our Vision:

"The vision of Camp Mack is that each camper and guest will experience God's love in a safe, Christ-centered, faith forming environment."

What's been happining
at Camp Mack?

Camp Alexander Mack began in 1925 as a five-day camp for youth from five states: Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin. That first year 130 young people spent time in a wide variety of year-round camping and retreat opportunities.

In 2000 a new Master Plan called Vision 20/20 was developed and unanimously approved by the Indiana Camp Board and both District Conferences. This plan outlined many improvements to facilities, infrastructure, and land usage to take place over the next 20 years.
 

Much work has been accomplished since then:

  • A village of yurt structures built
  • Waterfront activities relocated near Lakeside Pavilion
  • A Quiet Place relocated closer to camp on Lake Waubee
  • Recreational and challenge facilities improved and relocated
  • Infrastructural improvements made to septic, electrical and water systems
  • Stained glass begun in Quinter-Miller Auditorium
  • Endowment established for ongoing stained glass maintenance
  • Shultz Chapel restoration begun in partnership with Manchester College

On the Way... Continuing in Faith

Our theme, On the Way... Continuing in Faith was selected to see us into the next phase of our Master Plan - Vision 20/20. We recognize that it is only through deep faith in God's providing grace that we come to this point. A feasibility study done with the help of JHM & Associates reported overwhelming support(82%) for a capital fund campaign. More than 90% of those interviewed in the study supported the following improvements:

   between Vesper hill and Shultz Chapel

How will this campaign work?

God’s future for Camp Mack will require a sacrificial financial commitment from everyone. The amount that represents sacrifice is not the same for each of us, but we all must participate in the “obedience that comes from faith” (Romans 1:5). While considering what you will contribute to this project please pray that God will direct you.
 
All individuals, including children and youth, are urged to consider making a commitment. Each faith commitment will be gratefully accepted and promptly acknowledged. Contributions may be in the form of monetary gifts, appreciated assets or other special gifts. The confidentiality of each gift will be closely guarded.
 
Contributions to this campaign will be accepted from 2007 through 2010. Your faith commitment may be distributed as you wish over 36 months, potentially covering four tax years. All gifts to this campaign are tax deductible as allowed by law.
 
Thank you for taking the time to consider your possible participation in this campaign. Your continued prayer support for the ongoing ministry of Camp Mack and these projects is necessary and appreciated. It is only as we unite in Christ, with each member belonging to all the others, that we can move On the Way … Continuing in Faith.
