Assembly Songs

Below are the songs we have selected for Saturday’s Assembly. We will also be taking requests for any of your favorites! To help you remember the words to old tunes, we will have songbooks around camp.

We Gather Together

We gather together to join in a journey,

Joyfully, mindfully making our way.

In beauty of woodlands and quiet peace of water,

We sing a song of hope at the break of the day.

Green and White

Green and white, green and white

Colors made for a camper’s delight.

Through the whole camp season you bet

We’ve reason

To be there morning, noon and night.

WHITE! GREEN! WHITE! GREEN!

Colors made to be sporty and clean.

Oh we’re coming, you bet we’re coming

Back to W-A-U-K Double E-L-A! Boom.

W-A-U-K Double E-L-A!

Boom, boom, Waukeela,

We sing to thee.

Fairest of all the camps,

Giver her one, two, three,

Rah, rah, rah!

Ever a-praising,

Love and adore,

Here’s to Waukeela

Forever more, da da da da!

Tall Girls, Short Girls

Tall girls, short girls, fat and thin,

What you gonna do when the heat comes in?

Nothing to do, nothing to say;

That’s the time to pack your bags and go away.

Come to Camp Waukeela where the breezes blow.

Come to Camp Waukeela where we swim and row.

Answer the ever-lurig call!

Come to Camp Waukeela, the best of all.

The Peppiest Camp

The peppiest camp you ever did see;

It never goes a-poking. If I should tell you of the pep it has,

You’d think I was a-joking: It’s not the pep in the pepper pot,

Or the pop in the popcorn popper.

It’s not the pep in the mustard jar

Or the pep in the vinegar stopper.

It’s good old fashioned P-E-P: The kind you can’t knock down.

Waukeela Camp, Waukeela Camp, the peppiest camp around, around,

Around, round, round.

(Higher) Around, around, around, round, round.

(Lower) Around, around, around, round, round.

‘Mid Pines

‘Mid pines and hills and lakes of crystal clear

Each banner now unfurls.

A steady step, a step to keep our columns strong.

Green team! White team! All Waukeela girls.

And through the years we’ll always play the game of life;

Our motto is fair play.

Strive onward, and forward, and closer to our goal

And may the best team win the game!

So marching, marching, ever marching

Marching towards our goal, da da da da!

Marching,marching, ever marching,

Captain of our souls!

Marching, marching, though our hearts may

Lead us near or far,

We’ll be true to the spirit we find here at Waukeela!
