Harmony amidst competition : an analysis of girls camp songs in the Bellevue Washington Stake, 2003.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367856046

Pearson collects and analyzes the importance of various songs from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' summer girls' camp in Bellevue, Washington. She finds that camp songs act as a release valve for girls who are in an unfamiliar setting with unfamiliar people, fostering friendly competition and unity simultaneously. She believes that the absurdity of many camp songs emphasizes to the girls that they are in a foreign place with different possibilities than those available in the everyday world.
