Closing Campfire

It's been a busy week, and this night is bittersweet. We must go, yet we hate to say goodbye to our new friends and to all the fun we had here. But it is time.



Our last campire together.



Together, they all sing the Camp Wanna Do Song for the final time.



Camp Wanna Do
(to the tune of Auld Lang Syne)


Camp Wanna Do, where skies are blue
And summer sun is high
We rubber raft and make some crafts
And spend a week with you


To you we're true, Camp Wanna Do
We play and never rest
The fun is fine beneath the pine
And friendships are the best.


Camp Wanna Do we’re feeling blue
We know our week must end
But we’ll be here this time next year
To do it all again!


Mary Moonwalker sings "Rise up oh Flame" and the fire burns more brightly.



Day is Done
Gone the sun
From the lake from the hill from the sky....




Their final song, the campers sing

Umhum, I want to linger,
Umhum, a little longer,
Umhum, a little longer here with you.

Umhum, it's such a perfect night,
Umhum, it doesn't seem quite right,
Umhum, that this should be my last with you.

Umhum, but come September,
Umhum, I will remember,
Umhum, the campfires' bright and friendship's true.

Umhum, and as the years go by,
Umhum, I'll think of you and sigh,
Umhum, this is goodnight and not goodbye.

Umhum, I want to linger,
Umhum, a little longer,
Umhum, a little longer here with you.


Farewell, Camp Wanna Do 2009.

  1. Oh Happy,

    It's hard to believe the week is over and the Campers will all be on their way home in the morning! I can hear you saying.. I CAN believe it! I know it's been a long week but you've brought so much fun to our Hittys and to all of us Hitty Moms too! Thanks SO much for all your hard work and sharing all the fun!
