"Songs of Canoe Lake"

I hope you enjoyed every post of my blog. I hope the love of the camp was felt by each veiwer and pray that you will one day find memories and this camp. This will be my last post and I felt i should leave you with these pleasant songs from my favourite place on Canoe Lake.

When we get up to Ahmek

When we get up to Ahmek,

What a riot we will make

Good-bye home for awhile

Hello, Canoe Lake

We'll be there all summer,

We won't be back till fall,

If we had our way, we wouldn't go back at all.

We're on our way, we're on our way

We'll go make whoop, whoop, whoopee night and day

And any time you want us,

Tracks you'll have to make,

To good old Ahmek, up on Canoe Lake.

I want to go back to Lake Canoe

I want to go back to Lake Canoe,

On Wapomeo Isle

Back to the days of camping trips,

Back to the days of skinny dips,

I want to go back to Lake Canoe,

On Wapomeo Isle.

Oh, I want to go back, I've got to go back to Lake Canoe.

Oh! Father and mother pay all the bills

And we have all the fun,

In friendly rivalry on Lake Canoe.

How! How!

I wonder how they're getting along

At Ahmek when we've gone

Oh, I want to go back, I've got to go back to Lake Canoe.

Evening Grace (Hymn of Thanks)

Let us give thanks that life is high adventure,

That unscaled heights await us, await us every day.

Let us be glad for work and love and laughter,

For loyal friends and comrades, and comrades on the way.

The evening shadows gather round the sunset,

This day will join our long lost yesterdays,

As builders of a better world we seek,

May we be wise to use each newborn day,

Let us give thanks.
