Camp Nor'wester

Up on Johns Island in the ole San Juans
Is Camp Nor'wester, our second home
Its history is rich and community growing
In the spirit of giving, I'll tell you some more

Traditions long shared from the North Native Peoples
Celebrate life and its sacred thread
Join hands in the big house for this great journey
We carry all forward with each step we tread

One thing I know is it's steady as she goes
Two is a team, and three times a charm
Four directions inform while five fingers perform
Your six senses will guide you seven summers 'round

Fresh air, and warm rain, skin touched by sunlight
Nourish the body and comfort the soul
The earth gives her fruit to us, the deer, and the eagle
Thanks to all beings who share this sweet home

We've got sailing and biking, high ropes in the forest
Kayaks and hiking, tents and teepees
There's art, dance and drama; music sung daily
There's something for everyone, just wait and see

One thing I know is it's steady as she goes
Two is a team, and three times a charm
Four directions inform while five fingers perform
Your six senses will guide you seven summers 'round

Through good, honest work, friendships and laughter
We gain in our confidence, memories and songs
With teamwork and love, and your imagination
You have all you need to face life when you're gone

When the summer is over and we push off her shores
Nor'wester lives on in hearts beat-ing
We'll come back again, oh yeah, many times more
Our hearts ever changed in this meeting

One thing I know is it's steady as she goes
Two is a team, and three times a charm
Four directions inform while five fingers perform
Your six senses will guide you seven summers 'round

See you at Nor'wester next time around...
