GREEN TREES

GREEN TREES AROUND YOU, BLUE SKIES ABOVE,
FRIENDS ALL ABOUT YOU IN A WORLD FILLED
WITH LOVE. TAPS SOUNDING SOFTLY, HEARTS
BEATING TRUE, AS CAMPERS SING GOOD-NIGHT
TO YOU.

Submitter comment: THE PURPOSE FOR THIS SONG, AND MANY OTHERS, IS TO MAKE THE
YOUNG CAMPERS FEEL MORE AT EASE AND MORE COMFORTABLE WHILE
THEY ARE AWAY FROM HOME. MANY TIMES THE CAMPERS ARE VERY
YOUNG AND FIND IT HARD TO ADJUST.
