Though we were new to Conquest, we weren&#8217;t new to the programs through Regnum Christi. Our eldest daughter had been fortunate enough to be introduced to the girls&#8217; program called Challenge. For her, it started in fourth grade and though we transitioned from public school to homeschooling, Challenge provided the bridge of friendships that made it easy to homeschool. The friendships formed in fourth grade were still there five years later.<\/div>\n<p>We hoped and expected Conquest to provide those same experiences for our eldest son when he started Conquest. Each Saturday he would meet up with other boys {and their dads} at our parish, St. William which hosts almost all of the Conquest events. He learns quite a bit about the faith and it is taught by Father Michael and Father Gregory. The older boys also help teach and share, which I actually love. I feel peer leadership and instruction is not only key in keeping our kiddos close to the Faith, it helps them share it in a nurturing environment &#8211; it gives them the skills and practice to take the Faith outside of their comfort zone as they get older. Skills they will no doubt need once they enter the world at an older age.<\/p>\n<p>Conquest in the past few years has expanded their yearly program to now include two kinds of AWESOME summer programs. The first is Day Camp TX and the other is Camp TX. Our son will be participating in Day Camp TX for the third year and based on age, was finally able to participate in Camp TX. It is like nothing I&#8217;ve ever seen. The boys\u00a0<strong>love<\/strong> these camps. The proof is in the numbers. This year they have opened up Day Camp TX for\u00a0<strong>TWO<\/strong> sessions instead of one. Camp TX was a great experience for both my son and husband, who attended as a chaperone last year. So, rather than bore you with all the details from my end, I&#8217;m going to link you up to their website so you can get registered\u00a0<strong>IMMEDIATELY<\/strong>. Your boys will have a blast {dads too!} and it will make you think about the ripple effect programs like this can have on your sons for vocations. If your son attends Day Camp TX, make sure you attend daily Mass at St. William and you will see exactly the impact these programs have on our boys.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The details at a a glance:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Who:<\/strong> A Catholic camp for boys ages 8-12 {13 &amp; up are encouraged to inquire about leadership positions}<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/texasconquest.com\/day-camp-tx\/\" target=\"_blank\">Day Camp TX I\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; they&#8217;ll learn about leadership training, dodgeball, slip&#8217;n&#8217;slide, lives of the saints and skits<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>When:<\/strong> July 23-27, 2012 8:30 a.m. &#8211; 5:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Where:<\/strong> St. William Catholic Church in Round Rock<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Cost:<\/strong> $100<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Contact:\u00a0<\/strong>David Crawford at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:daycamptx@texasconquest.com\" target=\"_blank\">daycamptx@texasconquest.com<\/a>\u00a0or 512.584.7502<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Who:<\/strong> A Catholic camp for boys ages 8-12 {13 &amp; up are encouraged to inquire about leadership positions}<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/texasconquest.com\/day-camp-tx-ii\/\" target=\"_blank\">Day Camp TX II\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; they&#8217;ll learn about leadership training, dodgeball, slip&#8217;n&#8217;slide, lives of the saints and skits<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>When:<\/strong> July 30-August 3, 2012 8:30 a.m. &#8211; 5:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Where:<\/strong> St. William Catholic Church in Round Rock<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Cost:<\/strong> $100<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Contact:<\/strong>\u00a0David Crawford at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:daycamptx@texasconquest.com\" target=\"_blank\">daycamptx@texasconquest.com<\/a>\u00a0or 512.584.7502<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To download a flyer with all the information presented here about Day Camp TX, please click <a href=\"http:\/\/texasconquest.com\/media_files\/DayCampTX2012-Web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>What<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Camp TX<\/li>\n<li>Leadership training, team-builder challenge course, dodge ball, ultimate civil war, talks, sacraments and more!<\/li>\n<li>Competitive paintball over a wide range of scenarios at Zoomz paintball adventure course!<\/li>\n<li>We\u2019re renting out the entire Aquatic Center of Bryan!
