Great Story for Summer Camp: Love You Forever

When I was a counsellor at the Celtic Sports and Arts Centre, our directors (a husband and wife team named Lumpy and Hainey) read to the entire camp the book Love You Forever by Robert Munsch.  It was a GMIC (Great Moment in Camping - hat tip to Jeff Bradshaw for that brilliant idea).

Love You Forever

Since that time I have kept Love You Forever in my Kid Kit for quiet moments at camp.   One thing that I never got quite right was the tune of the song that the mom sings to her son.

Happily, I can now refer back to The Man.

Robert Munsch sings Love You Forever.

Robert Munsch is a beloved Canadian children's author. His books like The Paper Bag Princess, Murmel, Murmel, Murmel and Love You Forever are popular books for parents and children alike. He's speaking to Cheryl Jackson about literacy, encouraging reading at home and his own books.

It's funny... I have very strong associations of Robert Munsch stories and camp.

What stories do you associate with camp?
