Song
We’re kids from Sweyolakan

Our camp is a good one

We come here each summer

(unknown - may rhyme with year?)

The trails are all dusty,

we get really dirty,

our parents don't mind though,

(unknown - may rhyme with year? So we'll be back next year?)

Chorus

Swey-lakan, Wo-He-Lo, Swey-lakan, Wo-He-Lo

Swey-lakan, Wo-He-Lo,

Swey-o-la-kan!

(Repeat)

There's Camp Reed and Four Echoes

Camp Cross and Easton,

Lutherhaven, Dart-Lo,

Spalding, and more.

But Sweyolakan's our camp

we'll never desert it.

(Unknown)

(Unknown - Rhymes with More)

[CHORUS]

SWEYOLAKAN! SWEYOLAKAN! RAH!
