The importance of song to the Skidmore Camp experience can be found in the following description: “It is the last week at camp, however, which is the most thrilling. It is set aside for competition between the two camp teams, the “Picks” and the “Pies.” … There is always a great deal of friendly rivalry and enthusiasm in these contests which are not alone athletic. In fact, everyone enters into the Song Contest and the Campcraft meet with just as much fervor as is displayed in the final hockey game.” (see “Skidmore News,” October 9, 1929, p.1)}, url = {http://digitalcoll.skidmore.edu/record/6012}, }
