Bug Bites And P.I.
"Sassy's Song"
Through bug bites and P.I.*,
we've fought our way here
to this campfire that's wavering
through our heartaches and tears.
We've hiked through the woodlands
together at dawn
and at this time tomorrow
separate ways we'll be gone.
The serenity of vespers
the dining hall fun.
The CITs** at the singing tree
in the rays of the sun.
Watching the flag rise
in the wet morning dew.
All this reminds us of the times
shared with you.
Through bug juice and cookies
we've all grown so close.
Camp's brought us together
with the friends we love most.
So join hands in singing
at the end of this day,
in hopes that next summer
we'll be back this way.
Like a forever picture,
the lights on the lake
are etched in our memories
with the friends that we make.
Our camping is over
with the coming of dawn,
and all that we've learned here
we will share and pass on.
(Repeat first verse)
*(P.I. = poison ivy)
**(CITs = Counselors In
Training)
This song was written in 1978 by Kathy Thomas DeMint, "Sassy", a camp
counselor
