These encampments get better and better with this last one having the best mix of testosterone appeal and mental discipline/catholic formation. I am finally seeing some enthusiasm from my boys - you can be both a "real" man and devout follower of Jesus Christ. Since this last encampment, I am finally seeing the virtues sink in. We need to continue this momentum as we all know how easily these virtues get deflated in the world we live. As for the Night Watchmen, I will just move my tent. I wonder how far the catapult will reach. Tom (the cook) Three cheers for Doug Barry and the Friars - a job well done!

We are good at cooking stuff up for boys, but, frankly men are from Mars and women are from Venus. We are certain to flub it up. Handmaiden,

Had a great time! It really challenged me physically and mentally. Having Doug Barry explain the faith and exercise was pretty amazing!! Doing the push-ups, flutter kicks, and jumping over the walls of Jericho were pretty tough. The most fun was the night watch where we heard many strangers noises such as coyotes. All we wanted to do was to be able to catch Doug Barry!!!! instead he caught us!!!!!!! It was truly inspiring and I can't wait until the next encampment!! Thanks alot to all who helped make this encampment possible!!!!! Ave Maria!! Ave Maria!

Why can't we do something for young women as well? Well minus the boot camp and chivalry :) But one that truly encourages imitation of Our Lady and is fun at the same time!

My husband was not able to take him so a friend brought him. He loved every aspect of the weekend and can't wait to go again. He's had his Radix t-shirt on since yesterday afternoon. Today I reprimanded him for not staying on task and reminded him that when he allows himself to get distracted he is saying that what he was told to do is not important. He humbly said "yeah, I learned that at the encampment". My, just turned 7 year old, son absolutely loved the encampment. My husband was not able to take him so a friend brought him.

The coolest part was probably being able to shake Mr. Barry's hand and be able to meet him in person. The workouts were fun especially the shoulder busters. Being a night watchman totally rocked; it was so much fun that I don't think that I have a favorite part. I really liked the keep and Mr. Barry's reassurances on the safety of the ropes. I look forward to more movies from Fra A. on the encampment. I would come again in a heartbeat if I have the chance. Please keep up the great work, Fathers and Brothers.
