Camp­fire Songs

A sure path to Camp­ing fun!

Are your camp­ing trip evenings some­times bor­ing? Or are you look­ing for just a lit­tle more fun out of your camp­ing trips?

One of the best ways to liven up and make any camp­ing expe­ri­ence more enjoy­able (espe­cially a fam­ily camp­ing trip)  is with camp­fire songs. That’s right. A good old fash­ioned sing along sit­ting around a comfy fire, roast­ing marsh­mal­lows and wee­nies is a sure way to camp­ing enjoy­ment. Camp­fire songs for kids are a def­i­nite way to get chil­dren inter­ested in camp­ing and the out doors. The boy scouts, girl scouts and cub scouts have been singing while camp­ing for many years now and for good rea­son. It’s Fun! It is also plenty fun for the adults.

There are many great songs that are appro­pri­ate for the olé camp fire, but choos­ing the right ones that are easy and fun can be a lit­tle dif­fi­cult. There are some clas­sics that can’t be men­tioned with­out think­ing of camp­ing, such as Kum­baya. There are dif­fer­ent types of songs to choose  from as well.Funny and silly songs are always pop­u­lar with the kids. As are cow­boy songs and Amer­i­can tra­di­tional songs. Folk music is another com­mon favorite at many a camp ground. Many of the best and most pop­u­lar camp­fire songs are pretty sim­ple to learn on the gui­tar. An acoustic gui­tar is the per­fect way to accom­pany a camp  sing along. Know­ing just some basic gui­tar is enough for the camp fire. If you don’t know how to play, learn­ing a few chords is enough to play just about any gui­tar camp­fire songs that are com­monly heard.

Mel Bay’s Camp­fire Song­book (Jerry Sil­ver­man Music Library) (Jerry Sil­ver­man Music Library) is a good col­lec­tion of camp­ing songs that fea­tures Gui­tar chords, melody nota­tion, and com­plete lyrics.

Also Camp­fire Songs, 3^rd (Camp­fire Books) is a good col­lec­tion of songs that are bound to please. It is a col­lec­tion of more than 110 camp­fire songs — com­plete with words, scores and gui­tar chords.
