I remember learning new songs at camp, and driving adults crazy after we returned home because my sisters and I kept singing them... over and over and over.
Here are some example songs used at the girl's camp.
Alouette! with English translation (not for kids)
Don't you laugh when the hearse goes by
(alternate: Don't ever laugh as a hearse goes by...)
Frère Jacques (with translation)
If I had a hammer (The Hammer Song)
If you're happy and you know it
Ah...Itiskit-Itasket (A Itiskit-Itasket)
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!
Monday's child is fair of face
My Hand on My Head
(We called it the "Da Sis Das Song")
The ants go marching home (ver 2)
The bear went over the mountain
The Doxology...Praise God from whom all blessings flow...
When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
