The Soundtrack of Camp

The songs of Camp Ondessonk have long served as the soundtrack of summer, echoing through the trees, across Lake Echon, and in the moments that make Camp feel like home. These melodies are woven into the fabric of the Camp experience, carrying with them the spirit of friendship, faith, and joy that define Ondessonk.

We’re inviting all members of the Camp Family, campers, staff, volunteers, and friends, to share their favorite Camp songs and the memories behind them by completing our short Share Your Camp Memories survey. Your stories help us celebrate the traditions that have shaped generations of Ondessonk experiences.

Camp Friends who have already shared their memories have named classics like “Rise & Shine,” “Echo Our Father,” and “We Are the Campers of Ondessonk” among their all-time favorites. Other beloved tunes like “Bessie the Heifer,” “Darlin’ You Can’t Love One,” “Great Big Moose,” “Midnight Train,” and “Mountain Dew” have also struck a chord!

Whether your favorite song reminds you of your favorite Unit Leader, hiking through the woods, or your first foil burger, we’d love to hear from you.
