On July 4th, 1925, over 100 members of the Church of the Brethren went to a quiet spot on Waubee Lake. In this former cornfield stood a small cabin and an empty foundation. On that day, they dedicated that space to be Camp Alexander Mack.

On November 27, 1924 a committee consisting of Manly Deeter, Moyne Landis, R.C. Wenger, L.W. Shultz, and John Eberly made the decision to incorporate as “Camp Alexander Mack” in honor of the founder of the Church of the Brethren, Alexander Mack. To mark this occasion, Camp Mack will kick off its 100th with a video of current Camp Mack staff and board members visiting over 70 churches on a “Thank You Tour” thanking them for support a century of sanctuary at Camp Mack.
