becca and i are planning a party in honor of our 13-year anniversary/the bat mitzvah of our bat mitzvah. it's a strictly A-list event, as you can imagine, so don't take it too personally if you don't get the invite. it just means you're not awesome enough to party with us.anyhoodle, we are in the early stages of designing and drafting the aforementioned invite, and i wanted to include some of the lyrics from our (very jewish) camp song.
deep in the hills of new hampshire, under a cloudy sky* no, it's not just you. this makes no sense.
stands our camp young judaea, whose spirit will never die
she tries to instill in us the spirit of pioneers
which symbolizes the hope of the future years*
(lots of lines i can't remember)
we treasure the friendships we've made here, we're true to the blue and white
deep in the hills of new hampshire, the lamp of the future burns bright
knowing it was a longshot, i typed one line of the lyrics that i remembered into Google, and got one hit: the mormon church.
(i cannot emphasize this enough: i am NOT kidding.)

What's funny is that the paper I'm writing has a lot to do with stuff like this, namely pioneer imagery in American Zionism. Any sense of how old the camp song is?
