Camp Songs of the 70’s

Chris Sawyer started me thinking about camp songs. We sang many but generally based on what staffers Nancy Bram, Cathy Herrmann, Bart Tuthill or Bert could play. Some were homegrown, classic or religious or contemporary. Many went on to be Chanco standards.

How many can you recall? Here’s my list of favorites. Add to it!

• White Rabbit
• Eve of Destruction
• Junior Birdman
• Suffocation
• Pruney
• Mountain Dew
• The Rainbow Song
• Amen
• Rise and Shine
• I Wish I Was a Little Bar of Soap
• Stuck in Revelations
• Here we sit like Birds in the Wilderness
• Kum Ba Yah
• I’m Thinking
• Children of the Lord
• The Ants go Walking.
• Day is Done
