Songs from Zoar Valley Camp

Songs I remember from Zoar Valley Camp

These are songs that we sang at camp in the '50s and '60s. Just a list... hoping that others will add more songs!  I have copies of lyrics for many of these if anyone is interested.  I have a separate post with links to some other sites with lists of songs and lyrics.

Some (not many, alas) are available in iTunes. Others may be found on YouTube.
