In 1948, the Superintendent of Talladega County Schools, Mr. E.A. McBride, founded Camp Mac (which was named in his honor by the first group of campers that summer) because of his conviction that not everything children need to know to become successful, productive adults can be taught in a classroom. Since that time, the McBride family has seen firsthand the benefits children derive year after year as they grow up as part of the Camp Mac Family.
