🌿 If the Peace Garden has been a special place for you, we’d love for you to join us!

Please join us for a Peace Garden Dedication Program on Sunday, September 13 at 2:30 p.m.

Hey there! Have you been wondering about us? 🐔 Remember the Camp Mack chicks we shared with you before the start of summer? 🐥 They have grown up into beautiful Jersey Giants & Silkies. The flock has had some ups and downs this summer, but they are still going strong & keeping Cory on his toes!

We ask that you please continue to share our Executive Director job posting. Share this with in your network of family, friends, colleagues and church families. Ask them to share it as well, you never who might know who it might reach!

Dear Camp Mack Friends,

Greetings from your Indiana Camp Board in the midst of our joyful and faith-filled summer camp season! Camp Alexander Mack continues to be a sanctuary of holy hospitality where all people are welcomed to connect with God, experience creation, and build Christian community.

As many of you are aware, we are saying goodbye to our faithful Executive Director (ED), Gene Hollenberg. After ten years, Gene’s retirement begins on January 1, 2027. The Indiana Camp Board (ICB) and Camp Mack have spent the past five years laying the groundwork for this moment, and we are well positioned for a smooth and successful transition.

The ICB Search Committee, chaired by our ICB Board Chair, Travis Hartman, and comprised of five other board members, has met frequently over the past two months. The time has come to ask for your help!

Although we are marketing this position through a variety of media outlets, your partnership with us is vital. Have you seen our NEW website at www.campmack.org? The position description and application materials will be available there beginning July 24, with applications accepted through September 12.

Please share this information with anyone in your network who might be interested in the position or might know someone interested in the position. Any inquiries regarding this process should be sent to [email protected], the email account monitored by the search committee.

Please keep Camp Mack Staff and the Indiana Camp Board, as well as all potential candidates, in your prayers during this time of transition and discernment.

May God bless you and keep you,
The Indiana Camp Board Search Committee
Travis Hartman, ICB and Search Committee Chair

We need your help! We are planning to add a new activity to the Camp Mack Festival this year and we want YOUR opinion!

Please vote for which you would like to see at CMF on October 3rd ⬇️

💦 Water Bucket
We have several Camp Mack representatives, this could be staff, alumni, counselors or board members, for you to choose from. Each representative will have a jar that you can make a contribution to, then at a set time during the festival, the representative with the most contributions will get a bucket of water dumped on them.

🥧 Pie in the Face
This will also have several camp representatives to choose from in the same way, but they will get a pie in the face.

🎃 Smashing Pumpkins
Purchase a ticket then grab a hammer or other tools we have available and smash a pumpkin.

The activity with the most votes will be a part of CMF this year. The winning activity will replace Wreck a wreck.
