Lake Island Campout - Postponed

Sorry Kids and Dads! Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we have to postpone this much-awaited campout.

We will inform you as soon as we are ready again to embark on this very exciting activity! Keep on coming to this blog for more news and updates.

June 2 Campout Reminders

By the way, please come to the campout with some gear in tow.

You need to bring the following:

• Tent (always handy during a campout)
• Sleeping Bag (keeps your back warm outdoors)
• Flashlights (make sure to include fresh batteries)
• Jacket/Sweater (in case it rains or gets too cold)
• Cap (in case it gets too hot or it rains)
• Clothes (off course!)
• Swimming trunks (only if you want to swim)
• Towel, soap and shampoo (clean is healthy)
• Rubber shoes and/or sandals (not unless you want to come barefooted)
• Mosquito repellant (important! Dengue can strike anywhere!)
• First aid kit (forget it if you're Superman!)
• Utensils (Fork and Spoon or Chopsticks)
• Water jug (don't forget to bring water!)
• Toilet paper (hmmmm ...)

You can also bring snacks ... but these will be shared among everybody in the spirit of camaraderie ... We will also have a "family rosary" ... so bring your rosaries!

Don't forget the PhP750.- per person campout fee. This will cover for food, resort accommodations, activity materials etc.

Come in healthy and lively! See you there!

The 1st Ipil Boys' Club Campout definitely on June 2!

Our very first ever camp-out is now definitely set on June 2 at the Lake Island Resort in Binangonan, Rizal

We will be pitching tents starting at 10am on Saturday, June 2. A hearty lunch follows at 12noon after the Angelus.

We will then have a get-together of all participants so that we get to know each and everybody in the Club. There will be games for the kids in the afternoon and a Father-and-Son fishing activity.

Dinner and campfire and more games for the boys will follow in the evening.

Watch out for the bravery test for boys!

Of course, while the kids are at play, the Dads will have their get-together, too.

Wake-up time on Sunday, 3 June is at 6:30am. Holy Mass follows either at 7am or 8am in the camp or in the nearby parish church. The morning is free for fathers and sons to bond together ... but not before having a good breakfast! Exact time schedules will be given on the day of the activity.

Campout fee is PhP750.00 each. This includes entrance to the resort, 3 meals and snacks and activity fee including fishing.

Please contact Randy Clarino (+63 921 586 8007), Roel Castro (+63 920 678 7859), Bobby Asuncion (+63 917 815 4292), Manjoe Mendoza (+63 920 914 2415) or Mon De Veyra (941 6171).

Museum Visit Postponed

The Air Force Museum visit is postponed because many Dads got caught up with work on that same Saturday. Call that coincidence! However, we will definitely mark this activity as important and will call you when we have rescheduled it with the Air Force crew.

Get ready for our first-ever camp-out and First General Meeting of the Ipil Boys' Club at the Lake Island Resort in Binangonan, Rizal on June 2! This will be an overnight affair with lots of fun and games! Details will be coming soon ... however, please save up for this with your Dad.

Philippine Air Force Museum Visit on 19 May

Our next Club activity will be on the 19th of May (Saturday) at the Philippine Air Force Museum. We leave Marikina at 8:00 am and drive as a convoy to the Villamor Air Base in Pasay City. Please bring water and some light snacks.

You may want to ride with your friends so that we can practice a "cleaner air environment" ... less cars, smaller carbon footprint, less pollution, cleaner air for all of us!

Soccer on Saturday!

We will have another soccer practice on Saturday at the Marist Football field starting at 8:30am. If you boys want to practice regularly on Saturdays, please inform your Dads about it and we can arrange some younger guys to train you.

Who knows, we may be able to form a good soccer team by June and we can compete in friendly matches with some schools and, better yet, compete in the more prestigious soccer festivals!

Let's go boys!

Hey look! It's Coach Jeune conducting a virtues class to the boys after practice. Lesson learned: Fortitude!






Stretching really ain't much of a drag...it's actually very easy, but seriously painful! But once you get used to it, it's not so bad.




Breaktime! After a very long practice, comes a very short break. Man! Well, that's football.




How 'bout some shade over here! Its hot out there you know!?



Corner Kick anyone?
