It also features a clip from their Christmas television special/home video "Candles, Snow & Mistletoe" as well as the introduction to "Sharon, Lois & Bram's Elephant Show". "This over-to-soon video  serves up songs, songs [and more] songs - fast, slow, silly and soulful- from "Skip to My Loo" and "Mairzy Doats" to "Jump Josie" and "We're All Together Again" - plus rhythmic finger and word play and bits of business with "Elephant", the group's mascot, who has to be persuaded that camping is fun... Shot outdoors in sumptuous nature settings, with lots of children for viewers to relate to, the video is a deft mix of old and new footage, with the passing of time only revealed by Sharon and Lois' changing hairstyles and the hue of Bram's beard . Otherwise, the three are remarkably the same. By the time the trio sings their signature song, "Skinnamarink", night has fallen, the marshmallows have been toasted and the campfire is burning low."

To promote the release of "Sing Around the Campfire" and "Songs for Round the Campfire", Sharon, Lois and Bram embarked on a short and simple summer-tour of the United States and Canada.
