Golden Beaver Hits in Middle Camp
Middle Campers really brought their A-game to the Golden Beaver Challenge today. In fact, the Beaver himself really captured it well when he said that it was the most exciting, most spirited challenge in recent Beaver Camp memory. The challenge was for Middle Campers to create their own lyrics to a song celebrating their favorite summer experiences and their affection for Beaver Summer Camp. Some groups adapted popular hit songs. Others wrote original song lyrics and created their own melodies. Campers were passionate, they were harmonized, and they were proud of their group and of their beloved camp. Check out the video of the entire event and and read the lyrics, below, from the Gold, Silver, and Bronze-winning performances.
Mariners Golden Beaver Challenge Song – “Sail With Me”
(to the tune of “Stay With Me” by Sam Smith)
Yes it’s true Mariners sail from land to land
But we still have fun don’t misunderstand
Swimming and building castles on the sand
Lying out in the deck getting nice and tan
Oh won’t you sail with me
Cause there’s so much to see
Let’s go explore the seven seas
Oh won’t you sail with me
We are brave, strong, and loyal too
We are all best friends and those bonds are true
The Mariners are totally the best crew
So come along with us is what you should do
Oh won’t you sail with me
Cause there’s so much to see
Let’s go explore the seven seas
Oh won’t you sail with me
Row, row, row, row, row (x2)
Oh won’t you sail with me
Cause there’s so much to see
Let’s go explore the seven seas
Oh won’t you sail with me?
Buccaneers Golden Beaver Challenge Song – “Buccaneers”
(to the tune of “Barbara Ann” by the Beach Boys)
Bu-bu-bu, bu-buccaneers
Bu-bu-bu, bu-buccaneers
Buccaneers, at Beaver (x3)
Buccaneers, we’re swimming and a running
Playin’ and a-laughin’
Buccaneers bu-bu, bu-buccaneers
Went to Beaver Camp, lookin’ for some fun
Joined Buccaneers, knew they were the one
Buccaneers bu-bu, bu-buccaneers
We’re drawin’ and a-climbin’
Singin’ and a-dancin’
Buccaneers bu-bu, bu-buccaneers
Tried lower camp
Tried upper camp
Tried senior camp
MIDDLE CAMP WAS THE ONE!
Buccaneers bu-bu, bu-buccaneers
Buccaneers bu-bu, bu-buccaneers
Buccaneers, we’re swimming and a running
Playin’ and a-laughin’
Buccaneers bu-bu, bu-buccaneers

Buccaneers, at Beaver, Buccaneers
Buccaneers, we’re so much better,
Yeah we’re so much better than a deer
Bu-bu-bu bu-Buccaneers!
The Vikings Golden Beaver Challenge Song – “The Viking Hat”
(to the tune of “Princess Pat”)
The Viking hat
Went on my head
It liked to sit
Next to my bed
It sailed across
The seven seas
And then it came
To Beav-er-yee!
This viking hat
Liked to play
It loved to climb
A ways away
The hat had fun
And so will you
It’s all thanks to
the GBC-aroo!
A GBC-aroo!
Now what is that?
It’s something made,
By Sue and Nat!
It’s bronze and gold
And silver too
That’s why it’s called
The GBC-aroo!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That’s the Viking Way!
