Camp For All is pleased to announce the recent hire of its new Camp Director, Allen McBride. McBride previously worked as a Program Supervisor at Camp For All for over five years. During his tenure at Camp For All, he designed, implemented, and grew Camp For All 2U. Camp For All 2U is the nonprofit's award-winning program that takes the Camp For All experience into hospitals and allows pediatric patients to participate in camp activities.
McBride’s most recent experience includes a five-year tenure at Easter Seals Central Illinois as the Director of Timber Pointe Outdoor Center. During his time in this role, McBride achieved the hefty $100,000 COVID-19 fundraising goal to provide community programs, such as distance learning and family retreats.
“In 2005, when I first volunteered at Camp For All, I discovered my love for the camp and the power it has to change lives,” says McBride. “Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to the mission of serving others through transformative camping experiences and growing the organizations I’ve had the honor of serving. I am ecstatic to return to Camp For All and create life changing experiences for thousands of campers each year.”
Now, as Camp Director of Camp For All, McBride, his wife Anna, and their four children will reside at the 206-acre barrier-free facility in Burton, Texas. McBride will oversee the administration of the Camp program and strategize with Camp For All leadership to further its mission of transforming the world for children and adults with challenging illnesses or special needs.
