Chorus:
The past is our strength
And the future our destiny

Weaving our Friendships, our values, our heritage Children of Tanamakoon

Decades of campers gone by
A legacy built and the story’s unfolding
The pages keep turning in time

Long may this dream stay alive
A vision seen so long ago
Of a place where a girl can be all that she wants to be Where we will
never grow old.

(Tune:
All Through the Night)
When
I saw thee in the twilight,
Tanamakoon,
Softly welcome guests by firelight,
Tanamakoon,
Then my heart went out to meet thee
And my hand stretched forth to greet thee,
By thy peace thou didst defeat me,
Tanamakaon.
Children
camp within thy
borders,
Tanamakoon,
Strife is absent and disorders,
Tanamakoon,
Peace and plenty, children’s pleasure,
Friendship’s secrets, life’s deep treasure,
All are found in thee, with leisure,
Tanamakoon.
May
thy light burn bright and steady,
Tanamakoon,
May thy daughters find thee ready
Tanamakoon,
May the peace of God enfold thee,
May the grace of God uphold thee,
And may joys untold be to thee,
Tanamakoon.

Algonquin
Park Centennial Song
(Tune; Candle on the Water)
Chorus:
This is our heritage Algonquin
100 years that bind us strong
A tapestry of people sharing in the beauty
Time is weaving magic over all.
The ragged shorelines lie unaltered
The lakes and rivers carved
through endless years
The mighty forests stand before us
Reaching to the sun cherished by the young
Chorus:
As young and old share timeless treasures
A camper’s spirit always burns within
Of all the memories shared together
Through our joys
and tears
For 100 years
This
is our heritage Algonquin
100 years that bind us strong
As year go by together
In our hearts forever
Children of tomorrow
They will show
As sure as rivers flow
They’1l never let you go.
(Counselor
of 1993)
