The Challenor Creative Arts and Training Centre (CCATC) was established in 1964 by the Barbados Association for Mentally Retarded Children (BAMRC), one of the first non-profit, registered charitable organizations in Barbados dedicated to supporting children and young adults with intellectual disabilities. Over time, BAMRC evolved into the Barbados Association for Children with Intellectual Challenges (B.A.C.I.C.), under whose guidance CCATC continues to operate today.
