YES! You can!
Summer Camp theme soars in song
Co.Kildare, 16 August 2013
There for you, There with you
Today’s Irish Day, with its laughter, song, humour, friendliness, endless jokes and noisy enjoyment, sums up the character of this year’s international summer camp: family and friends and unstinting support and very much fun – and everyone involved in some way connected to the Order of Malta.

Is feidir leat!
The Camp song, sung by 600 voices, raised the rafters at the last formal ceremony. Its theme ‘Yes You Can’ has been borne out in so many examples of guests trying out new experiences and testing themselves, with robust encouragement from all around them. Irish guest Laura, after her first ever carriage ride, beamed: “I may not be able to drive a car, but I can drive a horse and cart!”

History
About
The mission of the Order of Malta is inspired by its tradition of ‘Tuitio Fidei et Obsequium Pauperum', to assist the poor and the sick, and bear witness to the Christian faith.
The Sovereign Order of Malta is a sovereign subject of international law. The Order - which is based in Rome, in via Condotti - has its own Government, an independent magistracy, and bilateral diplomatic relations with 110 countries.
The Order of St John of Jerusalem is one of the oldest institutions of Western and Christian civilisation. Present in Palestine in around 1048, it is a lay religious Order, traditionally of military, chivalrous, noble nature.
