Camp Stewardship

Camp History

"So Fonda Wakanda"

Music by Steve Ogdie
Lyrics:  2006 SHYC Winter Retreat ​
There’s a place I wanna go today,
Not far but another world away
It’s my home away from home
Where I belong, I’m never alone
 
There’s a spirit about the place
When your soul’s worn down
And you need some grace
You can come and get away,
 
Leave time behind, get away
‘Til then, we’re counting our days
 
So  Fonda Wakanda,
And so we’ll take it back home

Closing Benediction

May the gate of Wakanda always be open,
May the sun always warm our day.
May the stars always be above our heads.
May the water always quench our thirst.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of God's hand.
​Amen.
