The Land in the Sky
Time has not changed the spirit at this place we call,
"The Land in the Sky."
It dwells all over the camp.
From a canoe slicing through the lake,
To crackling campfires under the star-filled sky.
From the gleam in the eye of a first-time camper,
To the sweat on a staff member's brow.
No one can quite put it into the right words.
We all know it is there and we treasure it,
and keep it close to our hearts.

Crazy Little Thing Called Camp
This thing called camp
Staff just can't handle it.
It's full of mud
And it smells like a pile of -
We're not ready - crazy little things called camp.
The color pink
is being overused
And Mr. Kent
says he is not amused
But we love it, crazy little thing called camp.
(Bridge)
There goes Messina
He knows how to treat the ill
There goes Rick Balla
He never stands still ... needs those sleepin' pills.
Tim and Pat Callahan
Have lots of adoring fans
The cans of Pepsi ... for Darkside
are piling up about a mile high
That's why we love it - crazy little thing called camp.
(Bridge)
There goes Dave Gerace
And his Catholic schoolgirl hair
There goes Glenn Gabbard
and Matt Hathaway - fightin' like a married pair
The words on the rack truck are a mystery
Does it say diesel? Or does it say gasoline?
That's why we love it, crazy little thing called camp.
This thing called camp
Staff just can't handle it.
It's full of mud
And it smells like a pile of -
We're not ready - crazy little thing called camp.

lyricist Brian Issing)
2001 - Onteora: A Spaced Oddity
Uncle Herman, and Dear Aunt Dora,
Well I'm back at, ONTEORA.
Things are different and out of order,
especially way down over by the water.
Chorus:
But I've come home, oh Aunt and Uncle
It's my home, Dear Aunt and Uncle,
And I want to stay
Until my dying day.
Our Camp Director, he's a he-man.
He's a real man, He's the key man.
He's always with us, he'll never fail.
How come he wears an earring and a pony tail?
The Program Director, is David Seus,
from an institution, he just got loose.
He treats the staff, really mean.
That's why they put poison ivy in his latrine.
Now there's Darkside, who has a Council ring.
Teaches native dancing, and all those other things.
He's kind of scary, he's kind of creepy,
but I've heard he wears a tutu in his tee-pee.
There's a commissioner with just 9 fingers.
Over breakfast, he never lingers.
He's always rushing, he's really fast.
Too bad he can't tell his diesel from his gas!
It's getting late now,
I have to go.
I think it's starting to snow.
There's just one more thing that's really scary,
our new cook looks just like Typhoid Mary.

Why Oh Why?
Why does the rain make us so chilly?
Why is the mud so slippery?
Why is it uphill where-e're you go?
Why does Onteora's rack truck need a tow'?
Because our knee socks don't cover
our knees,
Because our sandals can't scale the trees,
Because we call it the land in the sky,
Because with no diesel, the rack truck will die!
