Hi, Johnfitz. Do a keyword search (click) of the Digital Tradition and you'll find lots of camp songs. Check under the keywords camp, scouts, and kids. I see from your Campfire CD that you like a lot of the same songs I like. I guess my favorites are "Hole In the Bottom of the Sea" and "You're Always Welcome At Our House," and a version of "Singin' In the Rain." I sang "Singin" Sunday at the closing concert at the San Francisco Folk Music club's Camp Harmony, and got an wildly enthusiastic response. Everybody in the house was swiveling hips with thumbs up, elbows in, knees bent, head up, and tongue out - while saying "toody-toddy, toody-toddy, toody-ta-ta" interspersed with choruses of "Singin in the Rain." Everybody else was singing nice, serious songs - and the audience was starting to nod off. I thought my camp song was a bit out of place, but I did it anyway. Glad I did.
I worked for 25 years as an investigator for the U.S. government. One time, a witness refused to give me information unless I sang "Charlie and the MTA" for him - he'd seen me do it at a Cub Scout gathering. That's another one of my favorite camp songs.
