Presbyterian Camps on Facebook
I’m doing a presentation tonight at a conference of the Presbyterian Camps across Canada (for a full list check out the Presbyterian Church Camp and Conference Association).
As a supplement to that presentation I am linking to each camp’s presence on Facebook so that they can help by “Liking” each other’s Pages.
If you would like to gain some extra Fans and share ideas with other camps please add your camp’s Facebook in the comments!

Chant: One Duck
One Duck
A classic repeating chant that is a big hit because it takes several times through it (at successive campfires or sing-songs) to memorize the higher numbers.
To teach this chant always have a couple of accomplices in the crowd so that they will automatically repeat what you do and there won’t be a need for an introduction.
**Please note: I withdraw my sharing of this AMAZING chant that kids and staff alike will love if you ever begin it with “This Is A Repeating Song”. Seriously.
Thanks to my director when I was counselling at Camp Kintail - Scott Sinclair - for teaching it to us. It is one of my favourites to lead.
Another trick from Scott - rewrite #10 to make reference to a local landmark to make it your own.
Delivery: On your feet, full of energy. When it is your turn for the next line always start with One Duck and repeat everything that you have covered so far before adding on the next number.
