How Did We Come to Meet Pal?
Camp provides a huge range of opportunities for girls, chances to try new sports, acquire new skills, discover untapped talents, and of course meet and live with new people. There are wide stripes of fun woven throughout all of this, but the most significant things campers talk about is the amazing friendships they build while at camp. Living so closely together, and sharing so much time together, camp is perfect for making friends. It’s easy at camp to relax and be yourself, open up a little and trust each other. That’s probably why there’s something special about camp friends, why for lots of girls, they are their very best friends.
One of the traditional songs at Rockbrook is about camp friends, about the experience of making friends at camp. It’s called How Did We Come to Meet Pal? Here are the lyrics. Read them over, and then go to our camp songs page and listen to the tune!
How did we come to meet pal?
What caused our paths to blend?
‘Twas fate we came to Rockbrook,
And you became my friend.
We’ve roamed these hills together.
And shared our fondest dreams
The spirit fire was kindled
And we learned to follow the cardinal’s gleam. Chorus:
It’s here at camp
We have learned to grasp
The meaning of, the real worth of
True friendship born to last Oh Rockbrook, you have given
What none can ‘ere destroy,
Ideals to guide our lives by
And friends to bring us joy.
And when we say farewell
It shall not mean good-bye.
The spark we’ve lit at Rockbrook
We know in ages n’er will die. Repeat Chorus
