We're not sure how, but it happened. We gather in Louisiana, hard on the coast. It's a Camp unlike any other. We are bonded by fish, friendship, family and food. We talk of fine boats, good wine, old dogs and long away trips yet to be taken. 

Clem Binnings started it. He had the idea. Recognizing that where you live is not necessarily where you reside, Clem moved a trailer, boats and assorted gear to the end of the road and began his frontal assault on fish and fun. Camp Alibi grew up in CoCo Marina around Clem's dream.

Of course, it wasn't first called Camp Alibi. The first name was the Falcon Partnership (no one remembers why or how that name came about) and its members were Clem Binnings, Marcel Garsaud and Walter Stuart. They were housed in a large, drab brown construction trailer on the far side of what is now Hagewood Court. In 1986 Steve Copley became a member and for twenty-five some years or so, Walter and Steve caught the fish and kept the fun going. In 2009, Stephen Babcock joined the krewe and he and brought his own special enthusiasm to the Camp.

We named it Camp Alibi after our boat, appropriately named the Alibi. It was a perfect name for a secluded getaway that required no explanation. And there have been other great boats, Best Revenge, Bada Bing and Miss Trial among them. We look forward to the next twenty-five years. We take our history seriously, and this may be the only serious section of this website. Thanks for your understanding.
