Camp Alderkill Retirement and Museum Site


Camp song sung to the tune of George M. Cohan's "Harrigan"
A-L-D-E-R-K-I-L-L spells Alderkill, Alderkill that's the camp that really means a lot that's the camp that is really on the top A-L-D-E-R-K-I-L-L you see. Its the camp with the name that will always remain it's Alderkill for me.
GOLD: Generosity and Elevation of mind.
SILVER: Peace and Sincerity.
RED: Nobleness of soul and victory over strife.
For health and strength and daily bread we give you thanks Oh Lord.
Tak for maden, tak for maden, tak for mad og drikke.
Rise and Shine and give God your Glory
Make new friends but keep the old one is silver and the other is gold.
Sam you made the pants too long.
Going on a Lion hunt but I am not afraid because I have my gun
There was a farmer had a dog and Bingo was his name
Hoved, skulder, knæ og tå, hoved, skulder, knæ og tå
Øjne, ører, næse og mund.
Here is almost a translation:
Head, shoulder, knee and toe, head, shoulder, knee and toe
Eyes, ears, nose and mouth.
My Bonnie lies over the ocean my Bonnie lies under the sea
