Camp Winnebago

"Winnebago Glorious" is the first song on side 1 of the vinyl record campers recorded in 1964.

The words and music of "Winnebago Glorious" were written by a camper and adopted by vote of the boys in 1947 to be their Alma Mater. Camp Director Howard "Uncle Howie" Lilienthal provides the commentary in the recording.

Bruce Lewis wrote the words and music for the song.



Oh Winnebago, glorious,
We raise a song to thee.
our camp on wooded hilltop high,
We love so faithfully.
Thru storm and strife we'll stand by thee,
Our hearts are ever thine.
We'll fight for you, in all we do,
Our camp in God's own shrine.
Oh, Alma Mater, dear to us,
We pledge undying love.
Thru all the coming years we pray
That you will reign supreme.
And when we dream of bygone days,
We'll raise our voices in thy praise.
