In this former cornfield stood a small cabin and an empty foundation. On that day, they dedicated that space to be Camp Alexander Mack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1925, Camp Mack has provided a sanctuary where all people are welcome to connect with God, experience creation, and build Christian community. In those 100 years, thousands of people have visited Camp Mack for camps, retreats, weddings, conferences, and more. No matter how many years you have known Camp Mack, you are invited to celebrate <strong>Camp Mack\u2019s Century of Sanctuary<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration! The day will begin mid-afternoon with walking tours and group reunions. For dinner, camp staff will serve a classic canoe meal. In the evening, all corners of the Camp Mack community will be invited to a service of celebration, remembrance, and rededication of Camp Mack. The day concludes with a community campfire with popcorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For full details, go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.campmack.org\/100-2\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"www.campmack.org\/100-2\">www.campmack.org\/100-2<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"927\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Camp-Mack-Centennial-Celebration-600px.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Camp-Mack-Centennial-Celebration-600px.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Camp-Mack-Centennial-Celebration-600px-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Camp-Mack-Centennial-Celebration-600px-560x865.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find more Church of the Brethren news:<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/new-brethren-rapid-response-network\/\">A new Brethren Rapid Response Network is organized<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/brooklyn-first-welcomes-new-members\/\">Brooklyn First welcomes third generation of one family as members of the congregation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/new-interim-leadership-positions\/\">Madalyn Metzger and Rhonda Pittman Gingrich to serve in new interim positions with the Church of the Brethren<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/global-church-of-the-brethren-communion-meets\/\">Global Church of the Brethren Communion meets in Spain<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/2026\/grant-of-500000-to-church-supports-bdm\/\">Grant of $500,000 to the Church of the Brethren will support Brethren Disaster Ministries<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Camp Mack Centennial Celebration is planned for Sunday, Aug. 10, at the camp near Milford, Ind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":25693,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"yes","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1703],"tags":[2324,1030,1417,2077,2411,628],"wf_post_folders":[],"class_list":["post-25691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-church-of-the-brethren-newsline","tag-anniversary","tag-camp-alexander-mack","tag-camp-mack","tag-camping","tag-centennial","tag-outdoor-ministries-association"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25691"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25691\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25694,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25691\/revisions\/25694"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25691"},{"taxonomy":"wf_post_folders","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wf_post_folders?post=25691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
