Alford Lake Camp

Imagine the holidays at Camp…

Mrs. M is in the Camphouse, lighting a candle every night of Hanukkah and singing “Patterns” to the very, very cold loons on Alford Lake!

Max is busy in his Workshop… lending a hand to the elves with last minute projects!

The “Laundry Queen” is hanging stockings (with name labels, of course) with care in the Jib!!

Karen is in the Barn getting the ALC horses geared up for a snowy sleigh ride!

Susan is baking in the kitchen — gingerbread “women” with blueberries, of course!

The office staff (Bisi, Barb and Lori) are busy getting letters to Santa in the mail!

Sue is in the costume closet, of course, trying on Santa suits!  Ho-ho-ho!

Betsy is humming “Dreidel, dreidel, dreidel” in the foc’sle.  Anyone up for a game?!

ALC Campers are nestled all snug in their beds… under warm blue blankets!!

An ALC campfire is burning bright by the lake.

AMT hikers see stars shining brightly over the trails.

Nova sailors follow the stars…

ALC Alps campers are drinking hot cocoa and yodeling…

ALC Abroad campers are sipping tea and eating crumpets!
…….

The greatest gift of all, the legacy of Alford Lake Camp, is opened and shared by all the campers, CTs, counselors and staff… friendship, personal growth and the joy of sharing summers at ALC!

What do you think the holidays are like at camp?

We wish each and everyone of you a joyous holiday season!

Yes, we know you are singing holiday songs right now but we bet you can sing along to ALC songs anytime of the year.
Care to join us???
Here are the first lines of a few of the songs from our days at ALC.  Let’s see how long it takes for us to complete the song.  You may add up to two lines per turn… check back often.  Which song do we know the best?  Play along, sing along!!

Patterns
The wood fires in the Camphouse,
The loon upon the lake,
………

Let’s sing About Old Friends
Chorus:
Let’s sing about old friends, new friends,
Friends from all around.
Let’s sing about old friends, new friends
That always will be found.

Alford is for everyone who comes from far and near:
The love and friendships all around grow stronger every year.
……….

I’m Going Back
I’m going back where the earth meets the sky and there’s no yesterday
and there’s no by and by.
………

Moose Meister
Moose Meister, self appointed heir to the Baxter throne,
has wandered off into the woods so very far from home.
………..

Wherever You Go
Wherever you go, there’s always someone blueish.
You’re never alone in your blueberry blues.
……..

Seven Golden Daffodils
I do not own a mansion, I haven’t any land
Not even a paper dollar to crinkle in my hand.
……….

Thanks for singing along!
We hear your ALCer voices ringing out all over the world!!
