One of the things that we often hear from families is about all the songs. Quotes like “our child sang all the way home,” and “our kids keep singing camp songs throughout the winter to help them think of summer fun,” are not uncommon. It is one of the things that we love about camp is all of the singing. Songs help us to connect to one another, and to certain times in our lives. Just the other day my wife and I who are trying to downsize all of our junk got into a discussion about getting rid of my 300 plus CD’s. Since I have had an IPOD I have not bought a CD in over three years, but yet I refuse to get rid of them, they are a part of my history and every CD takes me back to some event or place in my life. I don’t want to let that go. So the songs from camp are the same way. Singing them can put us back into a summer camp frame of mind, they can make us feel warm when it is cold outside, and they can make us feel a part of something even when we may be by ourselves. Music and camp songs help to connect us. So keep on singing out there. Plus, if you or your family would like a copy of our song book please feel free to contact BJ at camp at bj.murray@dmymca.org or call us at camp at 515-432-7558 to receive your free electronic copy. The tunes may not be included, but your kids will remember, and if you have any budding musicians the chords are available for the guitar songs as well.
