Atheist Camp for Kids … And What This Means for Camp Songs

Have you heard? There’s a new genre of summer camps now, tailored exclusively to kids of agnostic and atheist families !

The full extent of what this entails, I do not know. But I do know these camps may be at a loss for good camp songs. For, as we learned from Steve Martin earlier this week, “Atheists Don’t Have No Songs”:

But maybe they could modify the old camp tunes to fit their chord—you know, like “Kum Bay Yah, My self , Kum Bay Yah . . . ” —but nah, that just doesn’t quite work as well as  the original .

What do you think—what other songs do you think might fly at atheist camp?
