“Welcome to Camp”

July 20, 2024

A small group of boys took a special clinic this past week.  The goal was to create a Kingswood Alma Mater and then perform it at the last Council Circle gathering of the session.  That was last evening and I was truly touched.  That’s them in my featured photo

Alma Mater “Welcome to Camp” 

To the tune of “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles

 

[Chorus/Intro]

Welcome to camp, on Lake Tarleton

Here comes the fun, and you’ll say

“We love camp”

 

[Verse 1]

Choose your clinics, from wakesurfing to boxing/fitness

Hike a mountain, learn from Earl Angler how to fish

 

[Chorus]

Here comes Bob Wiff, telling stories

About Bill Pugh, and He says

“Watch out Boys”

 

[Verse 2]

Clear the tables, then listen to Klaus for announcements

Fourth of July, we got candy and watched fireworks

 

[Chorus]

A real sparkler, we’ll remember

All through the year, and we’ll say

We love camp

 

[Bridge]

Council fire, burning bright

Calling loons in the night

5 year steak, 6 year gift

Thank you to all the wiffs

1st session, we had fun

 

[Verse 3]

At the love-in, we give each other lots of kudos

Fellow campers, the time has come to say farewell

 

[Outro]

Here comes the car, with my parents

To take me home, but we’ll say

Til next year

We love camp
