Click on the image above to watch the AirMaria Roving Reporter interview with Thom Girard, Grand Master of our last encampment. The next Encampment will be July 18-20. I will have a new Encampment page up in the next couple of days.

We had a technical problem with this video when we first uploaded it. I have relinked to a new file.
This is the only video interview with the late Thom Girard, recorded at the end of the Spring Encampment, little more than a month before his death.

Wished we were there. I’m sure the boys would have enjoyed it!
Nice video report. It looks like a great event for the fathers and sons. I love the idea of the raids on the fire!

This was fun to watch .. my son, who was there, enjoyed reminiscing with it … I didn’t realize how BIG that bonfire was. Whoah. The boys really had a lot of fun and I think if they can go more than once, they will start to get more and more out of it. Thanks so much to the FFI for hosting this event.

Jen,
I believe this is a Knight of Lepanto event that the knights host and the friars are kind enough to let them use their property for the encampment.
Once again, another amazing encampment that my 7 year old enjoyed immensely and can’t wait until he’s a little taller so he can climb the 9 ft wall!
Has anyone at the Friary ever thought of doing a woman’s retreat for a day? Even a mother/daughter but that might be harder. A woman’s retreat would be great … I realize you cannot do encampments for the female-folk and most women cannot leave the home for more than a day. But, a day would be SO nice. Just a thought. 😉
