Great stuff. Did you know that The Old Canoe is Camp Wanapitei's camp song? But you're missing a verse....

[watersong111]

@friendsoftemagami Yep...knew that....couldn't get past "the cow moose" line without breaking up...so we left it out!!!

So this is your camp song? Do you have a recording that I could access? Love to hear it !!!

[watersong111]

Um....I am a big Stan Fan, and I have to say I don't hear it myself. But THanks !

@friendsoftemagami Go Camp Wanapitei! But we sing it differently.

[zippybomb]

Camp Wanipitei for the win!

IT was always more melancholy because it was the end of camp and we all had to leave. pretty sure it was always more melancholy for the V2's though

There were some guitar chords floating around somewhere, but we always sang a capella. The tune was slightly different from yours, more melancholy. A different choice for a camp song, which tend to be more "rah rah rah". Sometime we can get together and I'll sing it for you.
