REMEMBER

 

Remember the times you’ve had here.

Remember when you’re away.

Remember the friends you’ve made here

And don’t forget to come back some day.

 

Remember the blazing campfire,

The fun and frolic too.

For you belong to Camp Pokagon

And Pokagon belongs to you.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.

Say your prayers and cover your head.

                RUNNING FREE
  by Sibley Biederman and Tracy Lewis

Chorus:  Running free, running easy, running wild, running strong
                 Running to Pokagon where my heart belongs

At our Camp Pokagon nature takes its course
Everything from the trees to the people to the horse.

Repeat chorus.

People at Pokagon always nice to me
Helping me to see clearly what I want to be.

Repeat chorus.

Lakie, Wilma, Cam, and Phil are the people here
They're the ones who help us make it through the year.

Repeat chorus.

Lakie, Cam on waterfront; Wilma's all around
She's the one who keeps us from feeling quite so down.

Repeat chorus.

Phil is the man who helps us understand
What this camp's about, and what it'd be without...

Repeat chorus.
