camp song
Fireside group melody
A camp song is a simple, participatory song traditionally sung at summer camps, scout meetings, or similar group gatherings.
Camp songs typically feature easy melodies, repetitive lyrics, and often include hand motions, call-and-response patterns, or silly actions: We learned all the camp songs on the bus ride up.
The genre emphasizes fun and group bonding over musical sophistication.
