Here is a grace that Ahmek campers say every day after breakfast. 

The Ahmek Hem

Lift we our hearts to the home of our dream,
Where beauty of nature and sky's glory gleam,
Deep in the wildwood, set like a gem,
Hail to old Ahmek, the maker of men.

Here broods the spirit of life of the age,
Here calls the future for saviour and sage,
Pledge we our hearts to thy spirit again,
Spirit of Ahmek, the maker of men.
