Mealtime Songs

It’s part of our schedule at Camp Widjiitiwin to sing a song and pray before every meal. We have lots of songs to choose from and sing them loud and proud as part of a camp-life tradition. Here are some of the songs we sing:
  • Walking with the Lord
  • Fresh Prince
  • Pizza Hut
  • Superman grace
  • Praise Ye the Lord
  • Fill up my cup
  • I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner
  • Infantry song
  • Johnny Apple Seed
  • Soft Kitty Warm Kitty
  • Jesus Loves the Little Children
  • This is the day
  • We will rock you
  • Baby Shark
  • Father Abraham
  • Deep and Wide
  • Swimming swimming, in my swimming pool
  • Brown Cow
  • Jaws Song
  • Jesus was a cool dude
  • Spiderman grace
  • Rub-a-dub
  • Sponge bob
  • ABC grace
  • Flinestones grace
  • Batman Grace
  • John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
I love seeing the entire camp standing on their benches, singing at the top of their lungs. It’s really neat to hear the difference from the beginning of the week when campers are uncomfortable or unsure of the song lyrics to the end of the week when they stand up and belt the lyrics out (even if they still don’t fully know them). Meal time songs are such a small portion of a campers week at Widji but to see the joy and smiles on their face as they sing them is one of the MANY reasons why I love camp!
