content: Texts (4 p.) inserted. Performer(s): Sung by children ranging in age from 6 to 11, directed and accompanied by Pete Seeger and Erik Darling, with the Song Swappers.

The enthusiasm and informality of summer camp songs are here captured by a group of six to eleven year-old children whose performance is directed by iconic folksinger Pete Seeger (1919-2014), who also arranged the songs. Pete's banjo further enlivens the proceedings, while enhancing the musicality of the singing by the enthusiastic but untrained youngsters. In addition, folksinger/banjoist Erik Darling (1933 - 2008), perhaps best known for his recording (as leader of the Rooftop Singers) of the number one singles hit, "Walk Right In," in 1963, performs five camp songs as solo numbers. The liner notes consist of the lyrics of the songs, enabling the listener to join in the fun.
