Iโm writing this greeting after spending a beautiful day at Camp Mack. Camp Mack Day has been a tradition at Manchester for a long time. Even though students no longer take the train from North Manchester to Milford, Indiana, the excitement of the day remains the same – maybe even more so now! The last several years, the date of Camp Mack Day is kept a secret until 5 a.m. when an email announcement is sent. Dorm R.A.s bang pots and pans through the halls and shout that classes are cancelled! Itโs a special day for students, faculty and staff from North Manchester and Fort Wayne to relax on the shores of Lake Waubee, challenge themselves to try new activities like canoeing, and overcome fears on the high ropes course. What are your memories of Camp Mack Day?
